Bill Keeps Plugging Away

Almost every day Bill is working on the office for us. I seem to have a lot of stuff to do that doesn't involve building. I'm working just not with him.

 Time to add the closet to the office. It is going to bump into the Ell of the Trophy Room. The HVAC system will go on top of the closet. Our heat and air guys will have lots of room to work and bright lights. They will even have a door to go in. They will need a ladder to get to the door but that shouldn't happen very often.















First thing I  had to do was make room in the Ell for the building to happen. Of course, you can't just clear the exact space you need. You need room to work around. This was where all the kid toys and games were being stored. It will be like Christmas when the kids come over to play and they get to see all their toys.

 

We don't know what the holes in the wall were for but they decided where the door will be going.  

Next came the framing. Bill discovered that the ceiling joists the previous owner had put in had sagged half an inch over time. Once again we are reusing the existing lumber as much as possible. Lots of room for office stuff plus this will house our safe and guns. Away from little hands. This room will also be made fire retardant.
