Sean, Ian, and Perry
spent the morning finishing the Garage interior wall sheathing and putting the
bottom course of sheathing on the east and south exterior walls. Ian and Perry carried on that task in the
afternoon. I helped by installing gusset
plates and one of the 4x4 posts that we decided to use to strengthen the
corners where the hip rafters will bear on the walls. Sean, Chree, and I left at noon… headed to
Goodro’s, but on different missions.
Chree and I met with Tim Comes to get a price on the ThermaTru® front
entry door and sidelights we had finally agreed on. MAJOR sticker shock! So then we spent some time finding an
affordable entry door that we both could live with. That done, we drove up to Burlington, Chree
to spend some time visiting with Alverta while I installed a new bath fan and
light in the condo we own. Opened the
box with the new fan/light and discovered an empty plastic bag instead of
several key components. More on that
later… once my blood pressure gets back closer to normal. On the way back south we picked up our Hearthstone
Castleton woodstove at The Chimney Sweep and safely transported all 450 pounds
of it to the shed garage at Fern Lake.
Nice having a forklift on site…
