Monday evening we started the evening by tying up some loose ends. Jason added the seats (that's the word I was forgetting) to the master bathtub faucet to fix the constant running problem. I attempted to add the weather proof covers to the balcony plugs. Jason took over while I looked on daydreaming. The weather was perfect last night. It was rainy and cool-it felt like Fall. So my daydream went something like this. A pot of soup on the stove in kitchen. A cute bistro table surrounded by plants on the balcony. The Welders kicking back having their dinner enjoying the cool air and each other's company. A warm, relaxing shower before laying in bed reading a book (from the book shelves lining the walls in the office) with lights out at 10:00 for a long night's rest. Then it was time to wake up and get back to work :)
We finished attaching the trim in the office with the brand new pop riveter. Worked like a charm.
The cloudy sky and work light provided my camera the opportunity for a better picture than I could get of this room before.
For a change of scenery we worked on the trim in the kitchen/den. The big plug that the air compressor plugs into, is outside on the temporary electric pole. The nail gun we've been using to trim, hooks up to the air compressor. Since it was raining we were not able to use this handy tool so we worked on this trim since it is being attached to metal and the battery powered drill is the tool of choice.
We started in the kitchen and worked our way up.
A lot of figuring took place at the peak in order for the two cedar boards to match up just right. The uneven edge of the hearth also took some customization.
We decided to install metal trim in the peak where the two sides of the ceiling meet. Here is Jason's reminder to order it.
Though the hour was late, we decided to move all the junk in the way and buckle down and finish the other side of the hearth.
It ended up needing more work than we expected, so we left it looking like this. I know you are thinking, "Why did you just not cut one last board and finish it?" Well, you know we are picky. And this is something that probably only we would notice, but the ceiling tin was cut just a tad too short, which left a small gap. We have an extra piece of tin that we will cut a rib from to fill in the gap and hide this imperfection. That was just a little too much to do at the 11:00 hour. Though it was somewhat disappointing to leave our project incomplete, I know we will be way happier with the end result when we get back to it on Tuesday.
