And........so, this Other Thing is Happening
On a side note: sometimes you'll surprise yourself with an ability to do something that you never knew or thought that you could. In fact, something you never would've *tried*.... but then succeeded anyway!
I have *never* had Karate lessons (or any other such training). So, of course, were someone to ask "can you break that board over there, just using one hand, foot, whatever?" I'd have to suggest that I'd have to use the hand that had the SkilSaw in it. But a week ago, quite unexpectedly (natch), I managed to cleanly and in only one try, snap this 2x6x20 #2 Southern Yellow Pine board right in two! Using only one leg to do it! What I needed, to do this just right, was velocity! Unable to generate much of that these days on my own, I used Gravity to do the work! Something-something-9.8 meters per second squared. Working on a 10' long board that was 16' up and the other end came lose, pendulum effect, immediate "ladder-sweep" action and I was set free and on the way to my first Karate lesson! Snapped that big ol' board right in two! Using this> leg Surprisingly, (I mean SERIOUSLY surprised!) no broken bits on me! I mean, yeah boy, it hurts, but I was back on the task in ten. Anyway, you just never know what you might be capable of!

I felt bad because I can't get up there to help; but, it sure looks like you have a better helper than me and you have all that equipment to use, so I would probably be more in the way than helpful at this point.
Are you going to wire it or have it done?

Those boom lifts are the greatest thing to have around at times.

The roof is on!
More trim and s bazillion screws to go, but the heavy lifting is done. I'm gonna wire it, haven't decided if I'll add any plumbing. Allie is a fantastic helper. Never complains, takes on ANY job, works harder than me, by a long shot! She's pretty incredible. She had to take a break for a time because of schoolwork. She's a Senior at UT Tyler, mechanical Engineering. She has a summer class for 3D/cad and she just smoked the final on it Wednesday. Did I mention.... she made Dean's list, again? She ahhsum!
