So far, so good.

Everybody showed up to help this morning, and things went even better than I'd expected. We just used the extra help to get the 3 big boards up, then Jeremy and I did the rest. I do have one small piece by the furnace chimney that I should re-cut, but that won't take long, and it's something I can manage alone.

Cut this hole for the light. In the right place. On the first try.
And we didn't break any boards. Hooray! Of course, that means we have an extra. A big one. 4' x 12'. Not sure what that'll become. Not even sure where I'm going to put it. Maybe I'll give it to Ruth, they're not finished with their basement yet.

All done, and looking rather good, if I do say so myself. Tomorrow brings spackle and primer, Paint on Monday, I hope. Then I can get everything moved back in and have a hallway and a bedroom again!

Again with the wrong orientation.

Poor little Bug is so tired from her late night yesterday and an early morning today, and she crawled into bed and I haven't heard from her since! I'm going to have to wake her so we can go to town and get more supplies.
