Building summary: Today was another planning day, but there shall be action on the morrow. I started out by drawing a visual ‘map’ of the closet and the under-bed spaces so I had a better idea of what could go in those places. This pursuit, however, morphed into more preparation in regard to electrical wiring, and it was as I was sticking on more ‘green tape’ markers that I realized I would need to have a place at the front of Jacobhouse to affix the kitchen light switches to. So, tomorrow, I shall begin the process of framing the shelf/sill area at the entrance.
Commentary: It was another morning of planning at Jacobhouse, and though such expenditures of time are not my favorite, they do exist for a reason. Fortunately, as stated in the summary above, this morning yielded hope for a productive ‘tomorrow’.
In regard to highlights, I do have two to share. Firstly, I finally discovered the end-height for Jacobhouse’s kitchen counters. They will be approximately ~ 43-44 inches above the finished floor. This is a step up from the counters at ‘old-house’ that don’t even come up to my waist, so I look forward to seeing what it’s like working at a space where I don’t have to hunch over the food I’m preparing.
The second highlight, Padre was present for. It occurred as I was applying tape to the bathroom wall to indicate the lighting fixtures, outlets, and light-switches. The lighting fixture and outlet indicators were both quite normal – I even had them nice and labeled; it was the switch that stood out. Apparently, I had accidentally folded the tape upon itself as I applied it. The result of that shenanigan is below:
(It won’t turn on the tape-light for some reason.)
Indeed, it was a tape-switch. I wonder what the electricians will say… I’ll know soon enough (hopefully!). As for tomorrow, I look forward to it. It’s high time that the front of Jacobhouse was finished.
