Day 103

I made a morning run to Home Depot for screws and wall stud boards, but I also grabbed three more larger cedar fence boards (the ones I've been using for the walls) and a sheet of heavy chipboard. I'll explain below.

Anyway, the cashier overcharged me, in spite of me trying to explain that I had two boards that I had cut in half for easier transport - 4 pieces. But he charged me for a third, which normally I'd be chill about, but that's a $10 board, and I'm broke these days. I'll have to sort it out on the way back to Tempe...

Upon returning, I grabbed the liquid rubber out of the trailer, got up on a ladder and started adding another coat to the roof. Hopefully, this will help kill that persistent leak in the center:

 

Another coat on the cabinets. I had to do some sanding prior to this, due to the fucked up paint job by the previous owner:

 

Using scrap wood to make a barrier to seal off the space where the wool insulation will be:

 

Finishing up the row under the window frame:

 

While I was planing the larger fence boards, I decided to run the two boards that used to live over the door through the planer too. Remember those? I used a stain on them a few months back, but it looked way to orange. Well, running them through the planer took that color right off. Nice. I applied a coat of oil to each and remounted them over the door:

 

Into the afternoon, and I focused more on producing finished boards, and less on taking pics. Nearing the end of that wall:

 

For the lowest part of the wall, I didn't want to use up valuable fence boards, since they won't be seen behind the bed anyway. That's where the chipboard comes in. I figured that installing it in two pieces would make things a little easier, so I cut the first piece and notched it a bit for a decent fit. I've just set it in place in the pic below - I'm continuing tomorrow. Out of juice for the day.
