The New Room Part 2

The work on the new room has progressed for two more days. Wednesday is not going to be a working day for the guys coming over to work on it. The main guy is being paid a silly amount of money by someone for him to come and install something. Since the guy is our friend and this is an informal hiring on our part, we thought it would probably be good for him to take the day off from our place to do this other job.

I am hoping our new bathroom door comes in tomorrow and we can work on that. It is supposed to be here by Thursday but I am still hoping it will get here a day early. If it doesn't, we can pull some siding from inside the room. The new bathroom door will replace the lack of door we have on the bathroom; we have a curtain. The curtain is better than no door which is the way the bathroom is actually built. I ordered an accordion door for it. It is a large span to cover, 54 inches, and the door is 48 inches fully spread open (or would that be closed?). I could have ordered two doors and had then join in the middle but thought it would work better, and a lot less expensive, to block one side of the doorway with a 1 x 12 plank and hang the door from it. That gives us a few inches of play for the door so it isn't stretched to its limit. I need to stain the plank to match the rest.

Anyway, here are some more pics of the new room.

Three walls are up.

Rafters are up, end of day three.

Day four and the sheeting is going up.

It is going to be sweet to have this new room.
