My dad played golf today so I was on my own. I actually drive down last night after Liz and Luke went to bed. That enabled me to get going fairly early this morning. I started by putting up the ceiling in my office. I used old metal roofing material from a shed I tore down behind the cottage in Monteagle. Obviously I’m biased, but I think it looks pretty cool. If there is enough left I might see how Liz feels about using it in the apartment living room. That would be much easier and faster than the old flooring. Next I finished up the walls in my office.

I had to go over to Chapel Hill for more shiplap. I got a nice lunch at a gas station deli with a raspberry scone for dessert. Back at the house I unloaded the shiplap and installed an accent wall in Liz’s office. Then I cleaned up and organized a bit. My dad arrived as it was getting dark and we went to Home Depot in Spring Hill for some drywall mud and a few other things. We will both spend the night here and put in a long day tomorrow.
