Went back to the lot today to check out the progress. It still looks like a box from the outside, but the inside has made a lot of progress. The biggest difference is that the roof is on. Which is good, because it is about to pour. Time to find out how waterproof that roof is. Hope the duct tape we put over little hole we found between one of the sides and the ply holds....
They also got up this awesome old wood on the two corners. Where did they get a bunch of old rotten wood? Tore down a barn of course. This is kind of amazing. They found an old barn in middle of nowhere Illinois on craigslist that this little old lady wanted torn down. (gotta love craigslist). So they told her they wouldn't tear it down but they'd pay her 150 bucks if they could come pull all the old wood off of it. SCORE! It looks sweet.
Here is the other corner. You can also see what has taken up a lot of time. Spackling the connections between the flats because most of the time, they aren't perfectly at all even. Once they all get spackled and sanded we can paint all the walls nice and pretty.
Here you can kind of see that the roof is on. And that it looks like a construction site with our super safe scaffold. Yet again another reason why we can say, "how has nobody ever died doing this?"
And this is my favorite part. This is an old window off of the barn. And guess who gets it when Thurtene is over? ME! Whatever am I going to do with it? I'm not sure, but I'm thinking either some piece of art to go behind it, maybe an ocean scene. Or blow up a big black and white photo. Or maybe put smaller photos in each frame like a multi-picture frame. We'll see, either way. It's mine. I call it!
I feel like things move slowest over the weekend because everyone has other stuff they want to be doing, and you know, Thurtene is still over a week away. No rush! But the progress made over the next couple days should be really impressive. haha....hopefully...
