More rain, less work.
This morning after another late start I went to the storage unit to organize a bit then I met an insulation guy at the house. He measured and said he will get back to me. Next I went to the Goat Market and chatted with Eric for a few minutes before returning to the cottage. There I did some figuring, some drawing, and some researching. I also got an email with an insulation quote from the guy that came out last week. It was high enough to pretty much confirm that I’ll be insulating myself. Earlier this morning I had emailed the building inspector a few question about insulation, but have yet to receive a response. I drove home early afternoon via Manchester and Bell Buckle. It was great to play with Luke before dinner.
Get you a man who can do it all.
Thanks to Dolly for the inspiration.
Woody, rainy, cold.
This morning I started the day by playing with Luke and his blocks. After breakfast I drove to Chapel Hill for the last of my shiplap and cedar. It started raining as soon as I left there. Up on the Mountain I just unhooked the trailer at the cottage,ate lunch, then went next door to see Debbie. We chatted for a couple of hours then I went back to the cottage and worked on a materials list for insulation, and drew more house plans. The second insulation guy says he will come out tomorrow and I still haven’t gotten a quote from the first guy. It really is damp and miserable outside now. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
A cut (or several hundred) above.
I got a slow start this morning and arrived at the job site around nine. It wasn’t too difficult to back my trailer into position. Then I set up my saw and stand, and started cutting shiplap. I did that for almost seven hours without stopping. I made all the cuts I wanted to, but ran out of time to organize the boards indoors, because I wanted to get home to see Luke before he went to bed. So after stopping by the cottage for some food I hit the road. On my way I called the two insulation guys. One is supposedly going to send a quote and the other is coming by tomorrow afternoon. The drive was uneventful. It was great to see Luke and spend a little time with him before he went to bed.
