Second Wall Is Up

Along with the east wall being erected, one of two rough window openings was made on the north wall. It's taking a little longer than expected to put these walls together. Especially now that Christy is in Charlotte working with her previous employer, The Carolina Raptor Center. Apparently her successor didn't quite work out and they're in desperate need of her help. It couldn't have come at a more opportune time given that our savings are being depleted quicker than planned.

I thought I was going to be able to lift the 10' x 12' wall by myself but was quickly shot down. Thankfully our neighbor David was available to give a hand.

This past weekend Christy and I met up in Durham for a little R&R and family visiting. We also picked up the 5 used 30" x 32" windows mentioned in the previous post. In addition to the windows, we found a pair of used French doors for $40 at the Durham Habitat for Humanity Restore. And, as an added bonus, we got a double sink that my mom and step-father were going to sell. Price - $25.

Next up: Put in the second rough window opening on the north wall; build the west wall with rough opening for the French doors; take my mind off missing Christy by working, reading and watching DVD's.
