While I was off at
Goodro’s this morning spending a small fortune on windows for the house and
doors and windows for the sauna building, Perry put in all the sauna building
floor joists. Concurrently, Luther put
on the trimming studs and blocking for the house garage doors while Fred installed
the door handles and deadbolt locks for the garage people door and the shop
door. Upon return to Fern Lake, Perry
and I put on the ¾″ Advantech floor for the sauna dressing area, under which
(for good luck) is a 2014 penny provided by Kate Middleton. Sean came by to check on progress. He said that fixing the transom light over
the Garage people door so that it looks right above the door window and
creating pseudo transom lights above the Garage overhead doors will be easy and
relatively inexpensive. I love this
guy! After lunch, Luther and Fred put
KOMA trim around the garage doors, the final task for Goose Creek in this phase
of the house construction. All four of
us went through the building site to ensure all the Goose Creek tools got put
into Luther’s truck (except for the pneumatic framing nailer I’m borrowing for
sheathing the sauna building). Perry and I then built the framing for the sauna
building east wall. Perry immediately wanted to raise the wall into position,
but the siren call of the lake was too strong for me to acquiesce.
