Titen holes

Sunday morning the boys were pretty tired. We woke up and had hotel breakfast. Froot Loops, part of this complete breakfast!


Arriving at the lot...


Most of the work today was drilling and cleaning holes for the Titen HD screws that hold the sill plates down to the foundation.


Once those were done, we treated the cuts in the sill plates with preservative.



Everybody was pretty tired from a big weekend, so we packed up a little early. There was a little traffic on I-90 in a place that gave us a good excuse to take a Forest Service road detour past Lake Kachess.

Then I went back down to the storage container to get a hammer so I could glue in 32 wood plugs to cover the screws for the french doors. I fought with installing the screens, but the frames are too big! The manufacturer said "yeah we don't even make th...

Appliances and mirrors

In pursuit of being ready for final, I came up and installed the fridge and dishwasher with Jeff. We hung mirrors in the bathrooms.

Fit and finish stuff

Jeff and I worked on repairing the drywall gap in the stairwell and tricky bits of wood trim in that space; sorry, no photos. Christina practiced cabinet knob installation and did some more work adjusting the cabinet doors and drawers. Jeff and Jon got half of the stairwell closet space drywalled. I didn't realize it was a fire code requirement; I had been planning to leave it open to make utility repairs easier. But it's got to be done, and now the difficult parts are.
