Ian and Doug here at 7. We spent the first 3 hours putting in most of
the rest of the blocking from Sean’s punch list. Goodro’s truck arrived (the
first time) at 10 bringing more 2x4x16’s and other framing material. We transitioned back to wall framing, with
Doug finishing the closet in the first guest bedroom while Ian worked on the wine
cellar nook. As usual, I was the
designated cut man. While outside
ensuring that the foliage was well watered and nourished, the Fyles Brothers
truck showed up to fill Delores’ propane tank, which I had not
ordered. At the same time, the Goodro’s
truck came back with another 25 pound bucket of #9 x 3″ Deck-Tek® screws. We’ve gone through nearly 50 pounds (about
4,000) of them critters in the last 10 days.
I suspect Ian may be eating them for snacks… After lunch, Ian and I installed the Johnson hardware
for the basement pocket door (will allow access to the shop lavatory from the
storage room / grandkids sleeping area), while Doug put in the wall framing for
the pocket door between the walk thru closet and the master bathroom. Finished with both projects at the same time,
Ian and Doug installed the hardware for the master bath pocket door while I
continued putting in blocking upstairs.
The second pocket door hardware went in MUCH faster than the first… In the final hour of the day, we finished
framing the basement interior walls. The
lake temperature (40°) and level (19½″ below the top of the
dock) are the same as they were two weeks ago.
