I'd like to open this post with "the Money Shot." The correct sliding glass doors were installed upstairs at Sunnyside a few days ago. Here is the view from the deck outside the master bedroom. Not too shabby. This is going to be a good house for someone. With a railing around the deck, depending on the design, we might be able to block out the roof lines and power lines from the view. A nice 200 square foot sun deck, a rarity in ole' Bayside.

The reframing is coming along. Below is the corner of the second bedroom where the queen bed will tuck in. Our friend Seth (no relation) who is working at the cottage said to me yesterday that he wished I had a framing cordless and compressorless nail gun like the Passlode. Seth has been doing manual hammering and he is pretty fed up with jammin' his fingers. I told him to investigate pricing, and he found they run around $500 including nails and fuel cells. We would need one gun for framing and another for finish work. While Seth was checking retail prices, I jumped on Craig's List and found a guy in Dexter who was selling both framing and finishing guns for $300.00 for the pair. We jumped on it and drove to Dexter...found the Passlodes in workable but used a fair amount. Bought both plus two sawzalls for $350.00...a great deal as the Ryobi sawzall we got looks hardly used in its original case with batteries and charger. Same with the Passlodes. Each has a battery and charger and so we just need nails and the fuel cells. Yay for our team.

The place is coming along slowly but surely.
