It was an abbreviated work schedule this past week as Les ventured the six hours home on Friday morning to  acquire provisions (reinforcing wire mesh) and to attend his grandson’s high school graduation.  He returned on Tuesday with a load of wire mesh tethered to the lumber rack on top of the F-350.  Apparently this stuff is hard to come by on the island.

By Thursday morning he had set much of the insulation and wire.  (As he’s always told me, it doesn’t take him all day to do a half day job!)

Once the rest of the rigid insulation and wire is set, the radiant heat piping will be installed.

Extra Bonus Coverage – Project Homestead Barn Raising

What’s a homestead without a barn?  John and Julie hired a pole building contractor from Bellingham to construct their barn and the guys are doing a bang up job.  It’s going to be really helpful for Les to have the dry storage for supplies.

That’s all for now.  See you next week.
