Another Thursday report

The weather was very nice today, with a comfortable humidity level, so conditions were just right for working.  All four guys were able to spend the day here, but tomorrow is up in the air at the moment.


Chris, Tony and Ryan concentrated on building the form work for the various lintels, then filled each with concrete.  They also "pointed up" many of the open electrical openings in the walls to prepare for plastering.

Johnny, as usual, multi-tasked all day.  He did some more plumbing and installed the tub in the master bathroom, pushed more rubble into the empty area alongside the back wall of the master bedroom and installed three shelves in the storage area under the stairs over on my side of the house.

Me?  Well, my entire day was spent moving more stuff again!  With a little luck, however, I should be finished that task tomorrow and then focus on where to put it all.  This evening, I ran an Internet cable up to the Sun Room and a cable TV line up to Kari's room.


I've been awake since 3:30am and now it's almost 10:30pm, so I think it's time to call it a day.  Troy is still out in the new kitchen area, getting all the electrical points prepared for the walls to be plastered.  I'd better go check to make sure he's okay.
