Commentary: It has been a relaxing and quite enjoyable weekend thus far, and the list I mentioned in yesterday’s post is coming along. I intend to unveil the full ‘Compilation of Incoming Activities’ on Monday, but I do have a rough draft I can show already:

All (Whole House):

  • Panel the walls after all plywood is up
    • Need to work on Closet-wall, so I can finish with ply-wooding
  • Hook up all fixtures after paneling is up.
  • Hook up panel box to pole outside.
    • Need Alan for this one.
  • Flooring
    • After kitchen step is complete.
  • Trimming.

Kitchen:

  • Counters (both sides)
    • Structural supports (procure wood for this and the closet-wall at the same time?
      • Possible drawer on far left side – already have slides.
    • Finding and ordering the actual counter material
      •   Will require measurements (already have).
  • Hook up sink after counter is in place
    • Have sink, need faucet / drain.
  • Build front step.
  • Finish up the front
    • Likely via using trim.

Bathroom:

  • Shower drain (already have).
  • Vanity sink (after flooring, so I will not have to cut special pieces for it)
    • Cut hole into Vanity for waterlines / drain
    • Attach sink / faucet / drain.
  • Toilet (after flooring, so no special cutting required except for drain hole).
    • Simply need to hook it up to waterline and sewer line.

Bedroom:

  • Closet-wall (First priority because I need to do this so I can put up the steel paneling and then the fixtures.)
    • Create the pull out wardrobe
      • Already have drawer slides.
      • Need lumber / hanger rack to create the actual pull-out
    • Shelves should also be made for the shelf-section, because it will be much easier to work in that space without the plywood in place.
  • Bed
    • Cow-wood finished and placed (along with some plywood) to make a suitable seat for mattress.
    • Shelving / bin holders built into base.
      • Will likely require some additional lumber, but may be able to use all from farm for this.

Office:

  • Finish Wall #6
    • Trim outside with PVC trim / caulk
    • Sprayfoam cracks on inside.
    • Plywood inside.
  • Furnish
    • Possibly use desk / office chair from office near old-house. Chair is in rough shape, but I think there may be spare parts for it.
Jacob's gaming station.
Let the games commence! And yes, the white rabbit is for good luck.

Final Note: Tomorrow shall be Freekend, Day 2 – something that I’m looking forward to just as much as Freekend, Day 1.

*It should be noted that this was good couple of days for some free time. Today was rainy well into the morning hours, and it looks like the same shall occur tomorrow.
