Let's get this weekend started.

Daniel and Toby Lilja came along.

The rental place was concerned they wouldn't be able to get a telehandler for us this weekend, but when we showed up, it was at the gate waiting for us. Daniel drove it in and picked up our personnel lift with it.



Toby and Eliot sheathed the first interior wall segment that we built last week.

Our Big Donkey Column was also waiting for us. Toby caught this great shot of Jon trimming off the end of the column square. The telehandler is here to help us install this 600 pound monstrosity.


We tidied up the workspace, loading the truck up for a dump run in the morning.

We came up to the shetlet to have microwave pizza and get into bed. While we're up here, we hung up Siggy's folding bunk.


To bed, men! For tomorrow, we ride ... a big forklift.

The second was asking for a smoke detector outside the bedroom; I pointed up and he saw that we already had one tucked into the alcove. And that was that! I got up at 5am to be certain I'd be here before the inspector, and I was ... by about five hours. In that time, I took another truckload of tool buckets down to the storage container, then picked up all the floor protection in the great room and vacuumed and mopped. It's glowing! 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.
