Finishing the week strong.

Posted on by David Maxwell

I got an early start this morning and after going by the lumberyard I set up at the job site. My first task was cutting some cedar boards to length, then preparing the main room for laminate. That took a while but eventually I was able to start installation. It went down pretty easily. I worked until mid-afternoon when I returned to the lumberyard, then went by the cottage to pack up. Back at the job site I met with the electrician for a bit before driving home via Bell Buckle. Liz and Luke were surprised to see me, as I had expected to be home very late. Tonight snow is expected.

Busy but unproductive.

This morning I took my trailer and picked up the interior doors. I took the trailer home then went to therapy. I drove to the Mountain afterwards and arrived just as Douglas was finishing up the electric trench. I unloaded the doors and brought over the water heater and final toilet. After finishing work I went to Piggly Wiggly for some food.

Hammerin’ it.

Douglas’s friend Reese brought out his excavator and hammer today and they went to town on the sandstone. I ripped tome cedar for the trim. The electricians came by to install some fixtures. I drove home and made it in time for dinner. Luke was in a good mood.

Diggin’ it.

Douglas the excavator showed up this morning and started digging the septic tank. He hit rock just a couple of feet down. He is going to have a buddy of his bring out another machine with a rock hammer. I installed some base boards and corner pieces. The weather was nice.

Back to flooring.

I slept well last night and got to the job site early. It was a nasty, rainy day, but not cold. I was able to install the laminate in the third bedroom. The work day ended about three and I went back to the cottage and relaxed. This evening I had dinner with Dan at Shenanigans.
