Wednesday--More of the Same

Wednesday's work went well, even though Duane would have liked to accomplished more. There was more tearout to do. Duane also had to take out some of the ceiling into the hallway to accommodate the stairway at the top. All of that demolition meant more plaster & lathe, more insulation, more studs cut out. The hole going up into the attic is now open.

So this Thursday morning he and Carrie began putting some sheetrock on the walls of the stairway. The first step comes into the guest bedroom. Then there is a landing, and from there the steps will be laid up into the attic. Duane intends to have the steps in before this day is done. He and Justin also plan a trip to Menards in Watertown after Justin's home from work. They have quite a list of supplies to lay in for the attic work.

Weather here has been foggy so far all day today. It is mild, just very heavy with humidity. We had some wintry mix yesterday--rain that sounded like pellets and light snow. I guess the main roads are okay, but side roads are slippery. Please pray with us for a downgrade in the forecast. We need the electricity to stay on and to miss out on freezing rain here.
