Summertime......

It's worth mentioning that we have begun the search for a place to park this heap.  It would be great to find our paradise in  the next few months. It would be even greater if we could find a bank that would give us a loan on raw land. We've got a day set aside to go sit down with a few banks and see what we can work out. I'm feeling like I am approaching the hump with this project. Sure, there is tons of work left to do, but the major tasks are behind us in large part, and it's motivating to look back a little ways and celebrate our accomplishments. 

This is the channel where the line set for the Mini-Split air conditioner will go. I toyed with the idea of using a 2-zone system in order to feed air from both ends of the long and narrow structure. I don't know why I was surprised to find out that it would cost twice as much and take up twice as much space.  I decided instead to place the single zone unit in the center of the structure nearest the common living space. The bedroom doors will be open the vast majority of the time anyhow, and we'll just need to use some fans to keep the air circulating.  


As the cabinets are being made by my buddy Steve, I've made it a priority to get the partition wall that they will back up to erected.  This meant that I had to slap a few planks up on the ceiling in order to have something to attach the wall to. This is the wall mocked up, and I should be able to complete the job tomorrow. 


I dug this out of an old shed at my Dad's place.  It was mine when I was a kid, and I plan to restore it to it's former hell raising condition. I figure that it's a good summer project to do with my daughters and all the free time I've got! 


This is where I consider my next steps.
