Construction Daily
I spent the morning making a quick run up to Lancaster County Timber Frames to pick up material for the railings. Figured it made sense to use their supplier for the douglas fir to ensure a consistent look as the railings will butt up against the posts. So I was at Rentals Unlimited at 7 AM to pick up a flatbed, then up to York, PA I went. Got there and Chuck and Tony helped me get loaded up with 2"x4"s, 4"x6", and 2"x6" lumber. Turned right around and headed home, then had the enjoyable task of unloading all that lumber into the house.
Once that was done I set off for Martinsburg, WV to pick up all the bloodwood for the floors. Much to my dismay (and subsequent temper tantrum) once I got there I found out they only stay open until 3 PM on Saturdays. Looked at my watch - 3:20 PM. I was so pissed off, because now I had to rent this damn truck again next weekend to get the lumber. Not a good way to end the day. So I turned around and went to Frederick to drop off the truck, then headed back to the house.
Meanwhile, Shannon was downstairs priming the playroom while the boys were at the rental with Grammy. After she finished up I decided to tackle hanging the playroom kitchenette cabinets. Thank goodness for the laser level I bought a few months ago, that thing is worth it's weight in gold for hanging cabinets (no matter how much Shannon pokes fun at me for buying it!) Still was a bit challenging holding a cabinet in place with one hand while screwing it to the wall with the other hand, but using some bracing I got it figured out.
