7/30/19:
(Above: A bucket of Kilz just waiting for use.)
Building Summary: The schedule at Jacobhouse was rather unorthodox today, but I will list all the activities I completed in chronological order. Early morning, I measured / marked the wood for both the second to bottom and the bottom shelf of the spice cupboard (former ¼” plywood, latter ¾” plywood). Midmorning, I cut those two boards, made adjustments on finding that they did not fit perfectly, and then sanded their top surfaces along with all the top surfaces of the other shelves to prepare them for primer. It was around this time I also applied wood putty to one of the bedroom shelves that bore a large knothole in the bottom. Late morning, I decided that I would fasten the kitchen spice-shelves in place via screws*, and after that, I procured the painting supplies for tomorrow and gathered them all into one place for quick and easy access.
This is the template I used to create the spice-cupboard’s shelves. 
The top side of the newly attached shelves in the kitchen spice cupboard. 
The bottom side of the shelves in the kitchen spice-cupboard. As can be seen, it would have been frivolous to paint their undersides. 
A shelf whose large knot-hole I filled with wood putty (and then commenced to sand).
Commentary: Well, I thought I was going to begin painting today, but a combination of odd scheduling and additional preparations prevented me from doing so. Fortunately, with all the shelves of the kitchen spice-cupboard fastened and with all the other shelves sanded to a point of relative ‘burrlessness’, I believe I will be able to actually perform my intended task tomorrow morning.
As for today’s highlights, there are certainly a couple to note. First and foremost is that all of the shelves within Jacobhouse are now cut. I would not say I was dreading the task of manufacturing the ledges for Angle-Wall (Wall #4), but I certainly was not looking forward to it. In the end, cutting those shelves turned out to be much easier than I thought, and it was all because of that template mentioned in yesterday’s post (and included in the slideshow above).
Another highlight would have to be in regard to lunch. For part of the morning (one of the scheduling oddities), I prepared some pizza dough via a new recipe – another standard combination of flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil. This combination, however, mixed together almost perfectly, kneaded easily, and when placed with full toppings onto the home-wrought baking steel, resisted burns at a broiling temperature of 550 F while forming large bubble pockets and allowing the cheese crisp up into a classic leopard spot pattern. One of the pizzas was 3 cheese – mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan – and the other pizza was a meat lovers’ – mozzarella with Master Blend ground beef, black pepper salami, and Canadian bacon. As can be seen in the post to the right, the results were remarkable, and somehow, they tasted even better than they looked.
Final Note: Tomorrow I actually intend to begin priming the storage spaces within Jacobhouse. This will include painting the interior of the closets themselves as well as the shelves (both attached and detached) that belong therein.
*Was originally going to use clamps and wood glue. Screws, however, seemed like they would fasten down the shelves just as well, and I would not have to wait to clamp / glue each shelf (I only have four clamps, after all).
