It's All Coming Together

We're to the point of painting now. The guys put together a makeshift
scaffold for Jeff, and he was able to get about a third of the ceiling
painted in an hour. This afternoon, we hope to get a paint sprayer
running and make quick work of the walls. They're concrete block, so
anything that can get in the cracks and crevices will really help.

In other news, Brian started the morning on electrical, and then he
came over to help me build a stage. We're constructing it as eight
four-foot by four-foot platforms. That way, they're modular enough to
configure in lots of different ways.

Before moving over to stage pieces, I started the morning finishing
the kitchen cabinet frames. Then, Howard and Steve took over on
shelves and countertop. We ran into a bit of a problem with the
countertop being horribly warped, so they had to do some carpentry
magic to get it to work.

As for Chris . . . Well, the plumbing never seems to end for him. But
he's the only one whose plumbing expertise extends beyond "water runs
down hill." He did, however, get to do some painting.

Back to it!
