Closeted

My regular work took a lot longer than I had planned on, so the closet gig didn't get started til late in the afternoon. Which meant that it didn't get as far as I wanted.

But that was OK. The driveway needed shoveling anyway, what with all the recent snow we've been having. Which made a nice break between the sitting-down-at-the-computer-desk all day, and the staying-up-too-late-in-the-basement all night.

Meanwhile, Mary put together a very nice dinner of Chicken Alfredo using the leftovers from last night, which had everyone wanting more. Poor Deb! She was at class last night and missed it all. Oh, well, she'll come home starving and eat everything she can find. Mostly cereal and yogurt and cheese and chocolate chips and ice cream. Very healthy.

The most difficult part of this portion of the building project is putting drywall supports at all the corner points. The existing wall studs don't exactly line up with the placement of the closet walls, so I'm putting 1x4s behind each of the 2x3 end stud which gives something to support the corner.

Unfortunately, I discovered that 3 of my 4 1x4s were crooked and/or cracked, so I was only able to get one of them installed before it was impossible to proceed.

The electrical panel closet is done. The rest will have to wait til tomorrow.
