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 in the Excursion (Short Bus) will be delivered on Monday.
Thomas stopped by, about noon. He helped me unload the R19 and 2×6x8’s I brought home, and then we finished caulking the North and South walls. We got those two walls completely stuffed with R19 insulation in the bays!
We got about and inch or so of snow Saturday, and it really did turn cold. We broke off about 4 and called it a day, since I didn’t want to see Thomas end up having an accident because of bad roads and the idiots it turns people into… (See previous Old Man Winter entry)
It didn’t get to 23 degrees until noon today. That’s when I decided it was worth trying to get down there and get some work done. I was really surprised at how comfortable the building is. It was windy and 23 degrees outside, and it was probably 35-40 degrees in the building! (Work insulation…. WORK!)
I’ve been working on the gypsum in the stud bays of the west wall. I’ve got about 2/3 of it done. It’s kind of slow going. There’s so many small bays that it just takes a lot of time to cut the pieces to size… and use the gypsum efficiently.
I’m hoping to finish off the gypsum this week and get it all caulked in. I’m about out of caulk, so I’m going to start caulking on the Isolation booth end of the studio. That way, if I do run out before the next shipment arrives, I can start framing the Isolation booth!
