Tuesday
We arrived to a site wrapped in fog, just like yesterday. Temperatures were not quite as bad as yesterday (mid-90's vs. 102), and work progressed rapidly. We passed rough electrical inspection at 10:15 a.m. Drywall was in place by around 2:00, and it has all been mudded now.
Helen Simmons is sporting a bit of a shiner today from a fall she took yesterday on the gravel drive. She continues to work and refuses to complain.
The house exterior painting is complete. Interior painting begins tomorrow after the mud has a chance to dry.
Tonight we make our annual trek to Cumberland Falls for dinner, so we stopped work a bit earlier, with everyone leaving by 4:30 or so. (Jack Shearin, as he does on Tuesday each year, remained on site to get ahead with the plumbing. Thanks to Jack for the great work he does.)
