2nd Helping

A second friend recently volunteered to help out with construction at the Wimberley house. Chris, shown here checking out the new shower, has experience working on an electrical crew and spent most of his visit wiring electrical outlets. When I say MOST of his visit, I mean it. I had to twist his arm just to get him to take a break after working most of the day. Before that weekend visit, we had just two outlets in the whole house, both located in the mechanical room. Extension cords looped all over the house, all tied into those two outlets. Now we have outlets fairly close to just about anywhere we need them, making it much easier to use power tools to do further work.

So, let's recap the overall Wimberley house construction status:
- Running water, check.
- Toilet, check. (well, one of them)
- Sink, ditto.
- AC and heat, check.
- Shower, check.
- Hot water, check.
- Outlets for plenty of hairdryers, floor lamps, laptops, coffee makers, and shavers, check.
- Little tiny things like the complete kitchen, all floor coverings, all ceilings, and most of the gypsum board on the walls... check back with me in 2009...
