This morning I hauled some cedar trim from the cottage to the house. It was a bit too muddy to get as close as I would have liked, but it was good exercise. I had to go by the bank, then waited for Lowe’s to deliver the appliances. It was nice to have them come, although they do take up a bit of space. I took the interstate to Spring Hill, where I met with the insurance agent before going home. Luke was sitting on the back deck with Liz’s dad when I arrived. We read some before dinner. He was in a good mood. Everybody was pretty tired and we all went to bed early.
Cleaning, loading, backer board.
My dad came and helped me today. We cleaned things a bit, and he screwed down the subfloor throughout the whole house. I loaded all of the scrap cedar into the trailer and hauled a few bags of trash to the dump. I installed twelve sheets of backer board between the two bathrooms. That went surprisingly well. We knocked off a bit earlier than usual, about four, and drove around to see a couple of things before returning to the cottage.
Ceilings, inside and out.
I got going this morning and knocked out the bathroom ceilings. I also put the last strips on the bedroom and flex room ceilings. On the down side, my table saw died. I worked well past dark in order to get the porch ceiling done as well. After that I drove down to Manchester for a new table saw and some backed board for the bathrooms. I also got some groceries at Walmart.
Early start, nice weather.
Luke woke up about 4:15 this morning and didn’t want to go back to sleep. He took an early nap at eleven, and Liz and I napped too, although I was unable to sleep. We had a late lunch and then went to the park. It was nice to be outside and walking around.
