The walls close in…

The building material arrived today!!! 50 sheets of 5/8 fire code drywall, 60 8′ 2×4’s, studs, jacks, headers, and cripples.  190 feet of copper pipe (type L, thank you), 100 ft of black iron pipe  (gracious!).  Truck arrived at 10:30 and unloaded with a fork lift.

Since my 21-year-old assistant was nowhere to be seen I started moving in the lumber myself. A teenager from the block saw and offered to help…..after lunch. I hired him on the spot, but he never returned.

And it was, like, 110º f today at noon!!!    Anyway, I got it all moved by 3:30 by myself.

I Feel like a badass.
