When I last posted about the front wall it was ALMOST but NOT QUITE finished to the top on the right side of the doorway. As the top picture shows, it is now finished ALL THE WAY UP on the right side of the doorway!
(Okay, the arch isn’t done, but I don’t need that to put the door in.)
That was earlier last week. Saturday I went out & got a bunch more done on it. First I had to haul more styrofoam insulation outside — I’m gonna use either cotton or wool on the rest of the walls, but I figured I might as well use up the rest of the styrofoam from doing the floor.
Better than letting Loiosh eat it.
There wasn’t enough left to fill in the entire wall but I filled in the spaces I’ll need for the door & a bit extra, with some creative trimming to fill in gaps & use every scrap. It’d be more efficient if each wall section had one entire piece of styrofoam, but SO MUCH waste. I can always hang a blanket over it if it lets too much cold air in.
I found a great spot to hold my drill & electric screwdriver & the screws!
My roommate Inoru came out to help with some roof stuff (about which more later) & then hung around to help with the wall. It goes a lot faster when I can use one hand to hold the screw & the other to hold the drill, instead of having to hold the board up with one hand & do everything else with the other! They got to try sanding with the flap wheel, too. Partly, I admit, because my wrist was getting CRANK TASTIC.
(Don’t they look PROUD? Also I love their shirt.)
We got a BUNCH done, & those two top boards go all the way to the other wall, too. Eventually I ran outa boards, though, so my next task will be disassembling more pallets. Plus I gotta keep going on the roof, but more about that later!
This was posted originally to my Patreon, a little over a week ago.
If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.
