9.27.2017

Another hot day - Mom & I stayed around the apartment mostly, but we did get Jim to take a lunch break and we headed to Hadley, the little city just north of us.  We had wanted to go to a restaurant that overlooked the waterfalls, but it was closed.  So instead we went to Mollie's Mason Jar, a good family restaurant.


Jim had worked all morning drilling holes in the stairwell rafters - he was very happy with the jig that he made and it made the job a bit easier.  He said he probably got 25 drilled!  You can see some in the picture...he has it all worked out so that the air can circulate into different cavities.

 
Then he continued making the bottom baffles and installing the other rafters.  He needs more rigid foam to isolate the ventilation holes, so that's another item on the list to get soon.
 

Now that the big job of the microwave vent is done, Jim can start working on the kitchen ceiling.  He first put the vapor barrier on the side wall...
 


Then cut the smaller holes for the lights and got the piece up into place.


Every morning, Jim says "It's time to go make the donuts" (after that old Dunkin' Donuts commercial!) before heading out.  So he took a picture of some of them - ha!  These are the cutouts from the light boxes.


The piece is all up, light boxes cut out and fastened - so exciting that he is working in the kitchen now!
