Day 5 February 19

Short day. Not too much for me to do during the day. After David came home and we ate dinner, we tackled part of the wall again. I cut some more ceiling drywall to fit the stud while David attached some anchor supports. We attached the ceiling stud and then I rummaged through our 2x4s to find some decent ones for the vertical supports. We measured, marked, cut and David screwed them in. We still have the angled side wall as well as the modified supports on the other side. We decided to recess the wall behind the frig so our normal size frig is flush with the counter tops, however that takes a little fitness with designing stud supports. Luckily David’s on that job :o)

I don’t think I realized until tonight how much more you can accomplish with a full weekend and not having any work in between. I know David really enjoys doing this stuff but after a full day of work straining his brain there comes a point when you just can’t think straight. I think I’ve picked up on his tell already… he become quieter, starts repeating things and starts to get a glazed glossiness look about himself. At that point I turn off the lights and say “Shops closed! Let’s go to bed”.
