With Cheryl still feeling ill, we did dinner the easy way tonight: Costco's rotisserie chicken. That's the backup plan most of the time when no one really feels like cooking. For some reason, no one else is excited about my backup plan, which is to boil up a great big steaming bowl of frozen mixed veggies and smother them in butter. Yum! Sometimes, for the sake of variety, I throw in some bacon of sausage or ham.
I finished my preliminary plan for the bedroom closet framing:
One of the closets will be for hanging clothes, one will be for setting up some wire shelving, and the third one -- the one that sticks out a bit -- is not really a closet so much as it is an enclosure to ensure the proper clearance around the circuit breaker panel. The electrical inspector was adamant about making sure that no one stacks anything in front of the panel because that would be a very bad thing. And we don't want any kind of bad thing in the house.
The regulations dictate that there is a 30-inch width and a 36-inch depth around the circuit breaker panel to allow for a safe working space should anything need to be worked on in the panel. So right off the bat, there's nearly (2.5x3x6=)45 cubic feet of space used up by the thing. On the other hand, there's (2x2x4x6=)96 cubit feet of closet space!
Now if I can finish my work early tomorrow, there might be some time to actually cut some wood and put the thing together.
Meanwhile, it's almost Thursday, the week is more than half-over, there's more snow on the way, the weather guys are predicting a huge storm for Groundhog Day, and I'm still wondering when the rest of the parts for the Toyota are going to get here so that Deb can start driving her car and I can have the red one back.
