I have GOT to stop waking up!  No, really!  This time zero-dark-thirty reveille came with the realization that the design for the barn storage loft (and the stairs leading thereto) just wasn’t going to work because of a conflict with the beams that will be holding up the ceiling joists.  Bother!  So spent much of the morning figuring out a new design that would work, albeit with the bottom of the stairs not in close proximity to the people door, as I had wanted from the get go.  Oh, well!  That done, built four electrical outlet “junction boxes” out of ½″ pressure treated plywood.  I like my outlets to be standardized (Mr. Type A here) with their tops 18″ above the floor, but two of the concrete curbs (on the up slope west and south sides of the building) will be 34¾″ high, so those “boxes” with an 18″ length of ½″ PVC conduit sticking out the top, will have to be placed inside the forms before the concrete for those two walls is poured.
