5/1/19
Building Summary: Today I did not go to Jacobhouse in the morning, but I did go with Madre to Home Depot where many needed supplies were procured. These items included: a LED strip kitchen light (4′ by 1′ – 3,000 lumens), a LED strip bathroom light (3′ by ~ 3″ – 2,700 lumens), two 6″ to 4″ duct adapters, a dimmer switch, and some additional black primer/paint for the shelves that will be inside of the bathroom closet.
As for afternoon activities, Padre and I wished to move Container #2 into its new location, so we first had to move the bathroom vanity and the toilet into Jacobhouse – a task easily accomplished with use of the farm’s large payloader*.
Commentary: It was a productive trip into town today. Madre and I got all the abovementioned supplies at Home Depot, tended to a few other errands, and then topped it off with a food pickup at Sushi Bistro. I greatly enjoy our homemade beef sushi, but there is something to be said about the original ‘fish wrapped in rice and seaweed’. Both Padre and I found this especially true today in regard to the salmon and yellow tail rolls. The yellow tail’s texture was firm, and the flavor was made slightly (and deliciously) acidic with the addition of green onion. As for the salmon, its higher fat-content made for an almost buttery texture and taste.
Final Note: Tomorrow, I intend to mount the bathroom exhaust fan and then connect its and the ovenhood’s hoses to the outlets at Jacobhouse’s front. If there is still time after that, I will likely begin building the kitchen’s base cabinet.
*I just recently learned from Madre that a paveloader is instead called a payloader. I liked my version, but the actual name was earned in the 1950’s through the combination of ‘payload – er’.
