Baby Steps

We are moving slow in the building process because the garage isn't framed yet, Still Bill is taking baby steps that are making us very happy. He is added electrical to the hall and storage room in the West Wing. Next step for me is to get out and find the wall sconces that we want on either side of our South Beach art that goes into this hall. Once we know what we are using we can get the proper placement for those electric boxes and we can sheet rock.

Oh, look we have a solid wall! We are using the interior metal skin that we are taking down and replacing with sheet rock as the walls for the Storage/Work room.

The big shelves were already in place so we could organize and have an idea of where our tools are located. Unfortunately, we got excited about running electricity and ran the wires before we put the metal up. We should have been able to just slide it between the studs all the way down; a simple one step job .Oops, there's a wire in the way. So instead, we had step one, take sheet into the Storage/Work room, step 2 slide it down the left wall between the studs and the shelving, step 3 as Bill is sliding the sheet I am bending it around the corner, step 4 slide the sheet down the wall and into place. Luckily, we are people who do not get angry or upset about these missteps we just laugh and go on.

Now to screw the metal to the studs. Bill had to lay across the shelves to reach the wall and screw the wall into place. He's pretty agile for an old guy.
