Jim worked this morning wiring the new light box in the utility room.  We'll be able to start insulating and putting drywall in this area soon!

 

But most of his time today was spent in the auto bay.  He had to do all the steel work on the hip areas as well as finishing both bottom pieces.  Then he was able to do some fiberglass insulation.  This area is almost done!

 Jim also worked outside this afternoon - he finished putting the soffit with vents in the areas he could.  There are just a few fill in pieces left.  He has to go to the roofing company to see what his options are.  He may just put some plywood in these areas until next year, just to keep things sealed up over the winter.

We wanted to put another piece of drywall up in the wood shop.  However, our big stack of wood was a bit too close to the wall and Jim couldn't get his drywall lifter under the bottom edge.  So we had to spend time rearranging and moving the pile a bit.

We moved the last stack over to the front of the pile and then Jim pushed everything a bit to stabilize it.

He had to first turn off the power to this area and take the receptacle apart.  Then with the wood moved, he was able to get the drywall up in place.  Here he's cutting the receptacle box.

 

 Whew...he finally gets to sit down on the job for a minute!

 

Doing the rest of the fasteners - with the ladder on the wood pile.

This wall is really taking shape - one more full piece and then a partial piece!

It was late by this time but Jim wanted to do a little plastering.  First, we moved our plaster tools out of the closet and into the room - taping the closet will be next on the list.

Jim did a little plastering on the corners - in the second bedroom...

And on the valley in the kitchen...

Jim came home with me tonight - he took the plates off the newer 4Runner and is going to use my car to go to the DMV to switch the plates to the winter car.  Then hopefully he can get it inspected and we'll be good to go!
