While waiting for Jeff Many to arrive, shaped several rocks that need to fit around the electrical conduit. Jeff finally got here (an hour later than scheduled) and we put together a garage door order. Much as it pained me to give business to a company owned by the Chinese, the Wayne-Dalton model 8300 was less expensive and of better quality than the doors offered by the competition. Some consolation: at least the doors are manufactured here in the States. After Jeff departed I beat feet to Goodro Lumber to pay my July man-toy bill… and get a bunch of goodies needed to frame in the garage door opening. Didn’t write out a list so, of course, I forgot to get two items, including the expanding foam insulation needed to seal the top of the rock walls to the rim joist. Dan came over shortly after I returned to Fern Lake and again volunteered his services. With his help we finished all of the rock laying and cementing needed before the cellar hole can be backfilled. By my reckoning there are only 36½ cubic feet of rock walls to be built in order to completely seal the woodshed lower level.
