Non-visible progress today, appliance purchase

Today more hole drilling (is there any wood left?), the feeder for the electric panel is in and three circuits are roughed in (two outlet circuits in two bedrooms and the microwave). We bought appliances today, Sears is having a dynamite sale, 20% cash back if you buy three items. The piece of paper with the model numbers is in the car, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow for our list.

Mikem (Jenm's dad) made a dump run, 0.24 tons. Also, he and Jenm ripped 2x4s down to 2x2s. Why you ask? We are making the exterior wall in the kitchen thicker so we can have better insulation. The original plan was to purchase steel 2x2 studs for this purchase (they are light and straight). But we discovered steel 2x2s are the same price as a wood 2x4. That means twice as much. So the table saw converted 2x4s into 2x2s and sawdust.

Our window, Freedom door and laminated veneer beams (LVL, lambeam) will arrive Monday morning. Those arriving will be a positive thing.

No pictures, electrical rough in and hole drilling is not something that people can appreciate.

what the heck is this blog about, oh delicate flower?! a freaking book club? some place to deconstruct characters of books that sit on your bookshelf (or maybe CDs/tapes that sit in your vehicle)? regardless, i shall comply and comment.

Not a book club. Perhaps feeling dystopic with all this work, one feels like Big Brother is driving us.
