Progress Report

I’ve been working on the outside tin for a few days, and even had help for most of that. Trimming out the windows takes time, especially adding a 2x6 board around to give more depth to the trim. That’s 2 pieces, plus 4 pieces of 1x4 to wrap, and 8 pieces of tin for each window. It goes faster as you get going. And part of yesterday / today I spent pre-cutting the tin so once I get a lift, it won’t take much time to get the windows trimmed out. So, I made a template for those, and cut out the tin for the next 12 windows. It took about 20 minutes to cut each one out. Yet to do are cutting up the 2x4 and 1x4 so they are ready to go.

The lift is still a question. We can get one from Calgary, but don’t have transportation. I can wait a little and get one from Wetaskiwin, and once it’s here, I don’t have to return it any time soon. Still trying to figure out the best road to travel.

John, I failed to remind you of the “8 Workstations” room.  I was able to re-inforce screws (facing the room from entry) on the left division side of the room, but since the sheet rock was stacked in front of the other side, I was unable to get good leverage from a ladder to screw in the other side.  You probably already spotted the vacant space along the studs, but I thought I would mention it anyway.  Looking forward to seeing/hearing about any updates!
