Strike up the band.

It was a disjointed, but still productive day. The interior door were delivered first thing this morning. They look good. Next we put our pressure treated 2×12 band around the house where the deck is going to go. I’m getting really excited about the deck. It will be fun to build and should be a great addition to the living space. It started raining just as we were finishing that up, so I went over to Chapel Hill to buy some cedar lumber. I bought about 750 square feet of v-groove 1×6 in 3-5 foot lengths. It looks pretty good and will be the ceiling for the porch. At least about a third of it will be anyways. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the remainder. It would be great if I could lift the whole bundle up onto the porch with my tractor. I also pressure washed the green corrugated roofing metal that we will put on the vaulted ceiling in the apartment. Lastly, I knocked out the accent wall in the apartment bedroom. We used the siding from the old house for that. I think it looks pretty good. My dad continued his heroic efforts on the drywall mud. It is supposed to storm all day tomorrow. I hope to get the last accent wall done and complete the aforementioned sheet metal ceiling. I was just at Lowe’s browsing around. They started their Black Friday appliance sale, and have some good deals. Now I’m about to order a few things of the Home Depot and Amazon websites. But first, dinner.
