manleyhouseQuick recap of what has been done since the last Monday post.
The hole punches came in Tuesday and the Dishwasher Air Gap was installed that night with ease. The new pot rack came in Friday and is installed and has the liquor and tea pots on it, I haven't hung many pans on it yet though.
All but 9 of the handles have been added to the cabinets. I still need to make the jig for those (I just realized that the jig I made should in fact work so I will do that tonight). All of the drawers and the doors that fit the jig I made have handles on them now. Pictures will be added when I get the rest of them on.
My dad and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tour_spot stopped by Thursday and dropped off a bunch of garden tools; electric hedge trimmer, weed whipper, rakes, shovels, and a pair of nice gas grills. Now I am better equipped to have people over for a grill-out than when I had just the little gas one that can barely hold a small package of brats.
Thanks toobafugakum and drakenfly we now have two less hosta in the yard and one more rhubarb. I also pulled some of the overgrown weeds and grasses, but I have yet to get the trimmer out and go at it. The sweltering heat index yesterday made me stay inside most of the day.
I did go out for a bit yesterday to build a bookcase for the computer room, with plenty of water and trips back in the house to cool off of a bit. I also got a set of the LACK shelves hung. Those combined with the bookcase that doubles as a cat shelf by the window the room has a lot more floor space as several more boxes have been emptied. It also helps that I sent the old monitor home with my dad to replace the MAG that he was using.
alyska did more unpacking in the studio and hung a lot of stuff on the pegboards. I then went and tackled my closet hanging clothes, packing up all of the long sleeve shirts that won't be used until fall and putting the t-shirts in the dresser just leaving the dressier and club shirts in the closet, Those might even get moved to the computer room closet after that room gets a bit more put together.
Got up at about 6:30am or so Saturday morning and ventured up into the attic. I put on the adapters for the roof vents and attached the flexible ducting for the range hood, and half of the bathroom vent. I needed a 4" to 6" adapter and a short 4" extension, which I picked up later in the day, so I will have to make another trip into the attic soon. After I got the range ducting in, I installed some more sofit vent trays around the perimeter, then I moved all of the insulation batting back where it should be rather than all piled up on one side.
