While waiting for the dew to evaporate on the tin, Kim and I continued to work on the interior framing. We decided to finish the framing so we didn't begin the roof until the middle of the afternoon and barely got going. With the exception of a 2' corner between the bedroom and the utility room all the walls are now framed, plumbed and securely nailed/screwed (I still have to anchor the bottom plate with screws but at least I "shot" nails through them to hold them in place). Here are some pictures of the interior doors we got framed today:
This is me standing in the master bedroom closet door. The electric panel will go on the block wall in the closet (to my left):
Here is my mother-in-law, Ruth Freeman, standing in the hall just outside the master bedroom. All the doors in the house are 3' wide to accommodate handicap stuff like wheel chairs. The door to the left in this picture is the entrance to the master bath.This is a shot of Alexis sitting on the edge of our FREE jacuzzi garden tub petting Big "B" (Baxter). The CPVC water pipes are on the floor between Baxter's legs... I hope to start the rough plumbing by the end of the week. Remember with the modern plastic pipe all you have to know to be a plumber is 5 things: 1) hot's on the left, 2) cold's on the right, 3) water flows down hill, 4) pay day is on Friday and 5) stop biting your fingernails.In this picture the saw horse and chop saw are still set up but this is the kitchen. Ruth is standing next to where the refrigerator will eventually be.Tomorrow Kim and I will make another attempt to finish the flashing and ridge cap.
