Good Morning
It’s 60° and still dark outside, supposed to be partly cloudy with a high in the upper 70’s as the day progresses.
Yesterday was a blur of activity, was at HD not long after they opened at 6am. I very pleased that I succesfully got the microwave/vent hood ducted to the outside. The issue was that it was mounted on a bearing wall supporting an LVL beam, so there was no going up through it. I got creative and ran a 3-1/4 x 10 duct flat on top of the cabinets through the side wall into the soffit. Then extended the top to the cabinets and added crown molding to hide it.
The duct actually goes over the side wall from the soffit and elbows down to run along the top of the cabinets.
So that was one more head scratcher crossed off the list.
All of the doors are hung and trimmed, all the closet shelving is done, it’s pretty much ready for the painter, got it all swept up, plan to vacuum today and move the last tools out.
The countertops are coming Monday, I’ll plumb the sinks once they are installed.
All of the outlets are live and the lights are all installed, I really like the one that is a downwash on the fireplace.
The cedar siding is going on next week, that should complete the exterior except for the concrete patio and walks which are a few weeks away. I moved the remaining fill with the loader to get it out of the way of the patio.
I’ve been telling people that it’s 99% done, I just have the other half to finish up.
Today I plan to vacuum some this morning, install a register in the ceiling by the front door that got overlooked, and then take the rest of the day off.
Probably take the little plane to Reading for lunch.
