The Bathroom Cube is Framed
Last night I put up the other wall for the bathroom. Now my cube has a shape. It's a slightly crooked shape, tho. I had a lot of trouble initially because nothing is very square. I ended up pulling out one of the ceiling joists and moving it an inch over to try to correct things. That took a while.
Also, I got a few pieces of really warped lumber from Walbrook because I didn't get to pick it out. Someone just grabbed me wood from the warehouse. So I spent quite a while trying to nail this piece of wood in the corner straight. I even cut a notch into it with a saw and banged a shim into it to try to straighten it (a trick I learned from a drywall book). But it's no use. That wood has to go.
Check out this new movie. It's 3 hours of work condensed into 18 seconds with a Ramones soundtrack.
Tonight I'm meeting with an electrician who I might hire to help me out with the wiring. It looks like I'm going to have to replace the circuit breaker panel. We'll see...
