Sonny
and Doug put in the MDO for the east pantry wall and the nook where the glass
knickknack shelves will be installed, fitting the MDO around the adjustable
shelf tracks I bought the other day.
Sonny drilled the 4″ hole in the KOMA® blocking that will house the pancake junction box to which the exterior
light over the shop door will be attached.
That done, he discovered that there was no electrical wire running to
that blocking. “That’s strange”, says I,
“;cause there is a wire for that light in the switch box.” So down came the plywood wall covering and
then down came the ceiling sheetrock in that area. Traced the wire coming out of the switch box
until it disappeared under the ceiling sheetrock headed east to some
undisclosed location. Ran a new wire
from the switchbox headed west to the exterior light blocking… and we’ll
figure out what that other wire is doing next time Tom Morrissey is here. We semi-cleaned the shop, clearing the way
for painting tomorrow. That cleaning
included moving all the remaining hemlock boards out to the backyard under
tarp. At the end of the day we started
constructing a plywood box to enclose the Roxul®
encased heat pump, which I hope will further reduce the humming noise heard
when it is running. Eric consumed
another 20 gallons of joint compound today.
As thin as he is, I just don’t know where he’s putting it all.
