Second shift ends at 2:15 AM today

Today's second shift (9:00 PM to 2:15 AM) was productive. The ugly suspended ceiling in part of the basement is gone (along with a few pounds of mouse droppings and 15 years of dust), the holes are all drilled in the garage for wires, a few hundred feet of old, crispy wiring is out and the cardboard and wood from yesterday's insulation removal is stacked up and ready for the transfer station.

In today's earlier post, we thought we had only one truckfull for the transfer station. That is not correct, the driveway tonight is filled with waste, so the trailer will haul more garbage tomorrow.

Some ask, during second shift work, what do you listen to? Tonight billn listed to jazz on the local public radio station until 10:00 PM, then a Sublime record, Johnny Cash "Live at Folsom Prison" and Marilyn Manson. It helps to listen to music while one inhales pounds of dust.

We didn't pull any wires today, but hopefully Friday we can pull wires into the upstairs. In a perfect world, we could complete the electrical rough in tomorrow. Then we move on to electrical rough in on the first floor.

The night sky above the house is breathtaking tonight, no clouds and there are no streetlights in our area.

I will steal from Time magazine (that pinko rag). Who is John Galt? You are John Galt.
