More work on Ceiling

Finished another section of the ceiling above the LR, it is now 3/5 done, an looks really nice. I will have some pix shortly. [well, to be honest, longly is more likely to happen]

Judith wa sreally impressed with how it looks, which was very encouraging to hear.

I have been saving stuff for 16 plus years, and I am now using a lot of it in the house.

I bought rolls of fiberglass insulation probably 13-14 years ago, and I am placing it above the paneling to add even more R factor. Total is ~ R-30/32

When the logs for the house came, there were thin wood spacers, which I have been using as supports behind the panels, and have stapled the panels to, to keep them straight and not move around as much. The cordless CCraftsman stapler is really handy for this work.

And of course, the panels cut from the huge Ponderosa that I killed [by burning] about 10-12 years ago. Nice wood though.

Have a moving truck Big Yellow

A week ago I arrived in Albuquerque with my big yellow truck, A former Penske rental truck. It was in Cleveland OH. Do you know how far it is from Datil to Cleveland OH??? 2030 miles!

Lots of money on gas, let me tell you.

It is a 24' box truck, and I have about 3 trucks worth in the house, so I have a lot to get rid of.
