Overall: Deja Vu from last week. We had another productive week, with rain taking away precious time. Both buildings will be roofed in a couple weeks, ending that frustration.
Monday: 3 man crew working on house walls. A brief rain storm in the middle of the day forced us to take cover for 15-20 minutes. We have completed the north, south and east house exterior walls.
Tuesday: rain shortened the day after just 3 hours in the morning. Started framing the house west wall, the final exterior wall with the most challenges.
Wednesday: Completed the lower portion of the west wall required for the crew installing trusses. There is still difficult framing to be done after the house is roofed. Large trapezoidal windows will fill the upper portion of the west wall.
Thursday: Kyle started the day laying out interior walls for the house and getting underway building them. Kermit and I worked on framing the east wall of the shop in preparation of installing garage door headers. We installed the 10 foot garage door header. Kyle completed 35% of house interior walls.
Friday: The truck died on the drive to the site. Pissed away half the day by the time the truck was towed home and I was in a spare vehicle. Kyle is now 75% complete for interior walls. Kermit and I worked on forms to pour concrete for the breezeway next week and breezeway headers to support roof trusses. Absolutely perfect weather today.
Saturday: Replaced the ignition coil on the truck. It took me longer than expected to isolate the problem to the coil. Will make a claim that I was distracted by other projects and activities consuming my time.
Sunday: Reviewed quotes from roofers. Need to select a roofer ASAP, so they can put me on their list of upcoming jobs and will be ready for me right after trusses and sheathing have been installed. Catching up on filing receipts, and updating spreadsheets tracking expenses etc. Moved shop tools from our garage to dad’s garage.
