Remote Control
The surgeon just came out from the OR. My brother’s come through his surgery pretty well. Thanks to everyone who’s said an extra prayer.
Even though I’m out of town, a few things are still going on anyway…
The banding/strapping showed up Monday before I left. So, when I do get home, I can get all of […]
If I Had A Hammer… Oh wait… I DO!
I got started prepping things pretty early this morning. I got all the tools together and even snapped a chalkline of where to cut the existing OSB…
Thomas got here about 12:30PM, so we jumped on getting the ledger board up. It actually went pretty quick.
The first shot is the end above the lounge […]
Baby… It’s cold outside!
It’s cold and dry out there again… Low’s in the 20’s and high’s in the 30’s…. brrrrrr. It’s so dry too. My hands are cracking and despite using lotions, they’re getting pretty painful.
I didn’t get a lot done because of a few things I’ll touch on in a minute, but I got as much done […]
Westward Hyo!
Last night I continued work on the west exterior wall. I got a late start due to a couple of things, including ordering the poly strapping material from Uline.
What’s that you ask? What’s the poly strapping for? Oh yeah… The R-19 in the exterior walls, right? Well, the insulation is really only held in the […]
sloggin’ through the mud
I had a couple of personal comments made to me about the fact that electrical work was done on a national holiday; Martin Luther King Day. The way that they explained it to me was that the utilities NEVER sleep or get a day off. They INDIVIDUALLY take days off, but as a rule, the […]
Ch-ch-ch-changes… in plans
OOOOPS! No lumber today! (But for a darn good reason!)
I had a bit of a surprise this morning just before I headed out for the day gig…
Duke Energy’s contractor showed up, unannounced, to put in the power and cable lines! While I’m happy to see em’, I’m kinda’ miffed that Duke Energy didn’t call like […]
Rock Steady….
No pix… the lens kept foggin up… but I have been busy… really… I have been!
Saturday morning, I went to Builder’s Discount for lumber and insulation. I ordered a boatload of lumber for framing the studio walls and the lounge. The lumber prices are far better than the other national chains. What I couldn’t fit […]
Old Man Winter
Well, he’s finally come to call on us here in NC…
It’s turned out to be somewhat of a non-event event… sorta’.
Winter weather has become a kind of a tradition of panic and hysteria in the south… and with good reason.
Snow in North Carolina isn’t exactly the same as snow in the northeast. Don’t believe me? […]
A Nail In The Wall
Too tired and too dark to snag pix Saturday night, and we ran out of daylight.
But, I did get 1-3/4 walls up on the lounge!
The lounge exterior wall is 2×6 stud. All bottom plates are Pressure Treated lumber by code.
When I went to pick up lumber, I found out that any change in roof line […]
More Toys=More Work
The cabling/wall plates arrived as well as the Aurora 16’s!
The wall plates are nice and clean looking! It’ll be awhile before I get shots of em. I want to keep them wrapped in the bubble wrap until I get ready to install em.
Still waiting on the 8 pack of Brent Averill 1073’s… but it won’t […]
