Jim spent all morning doing errands - everything from picking up some steel at the Drywall Center to getting more wire at the electric supply house to going to Lowe's.  He also called the lighting company again but his rep was still out sick so we continue to be on hold for that - although our box of 25 special high-intensity light bulbs came in today!

Jim found the perfect outlet cover for the receptacle in the attic - if you remember, he had one but didn't like it.  The electric place had them in all shapes and sizes so Jim found the perfect replacement.  We'll have to wait to see it on the receptacle!

It was after noon before Jim got to the property.  Now that he had the wire, his first task was to work on completing the wiring from the main breaker box to the subpanel in the metal shop.  Everything is now complete and there is no more temporary wiring to connect the two!  The box looks amazing - and full!  Only two slots left for circuits!

The subpanel box in the metal shop all wired in.

After that, Jim worked more on his access door into the attic space above the auto bay.  He had made a rough opening for the door yesterday but today he did the careful cutting to make the door as big as possible.  Then he worked inside and got all of the fasteners down on the floor.  This is almost all complete - he just needs a little more plywood around the edges but it's all usable space now and he can start filling it up to free up floor space in the shops!

At the end of the day, it was back to some insulation work.  He got insulation brought down from the attic space into the top of the closet area in the master bedroom.  They still need to be glued down but the hard part is done.  Jim is going to use the closet area for staging of some insulation materials.

Same goes in the second bedroom - pieces brought down from the attic to fill in the top of the wall.  Really starting to look finished in these areas!
