progress

This week the end of my project, getting Sheila's house ready for occupancy, came into sight. On Monday we began what could have been an arduous, drawn-out process: shoring up the soft subfloor in preparation for installing flooring. But we were motivated and industrious so we ended up finishing that same day at 6:30 pm. It was awesome to wield a framing nail gun again. Crawling around under the house like a commando I felt that this was real work, an actual accomplishment. Today we did more preparation for the flooring installation, including buying some of the flooring so it can acclimate on site. My parents are coming down to work this Thursday until next Thursday, and I've assigned them to the floor. Also, we're almost done with the walls, which is what I started on 2 months ago. I'm excited.
