Today, it was HOT! I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie and then I was off to a graduation ceremony for my friend Barrett's daughter. Afterward, I met up with my parents who were already at the house. We cleaned up the sand, mortar, and sawdust on the floor, and my mom continued her quest to purge every leaf and piece of debris from under the wooden walls.
I also went around to every anchor bolt and made sure they were tight. These are the bolts embedded in the slab that attach to the floor plates for the walls. Almost every one of them was loose. I think it's because the wood has dried and shrunken a bit. But they're all tight now!
Some things are starting to disappear, like the blue painter's tape and a plastic bottle of wire staples.
I'm going back tomorrow to make a final checklist of things that need to be done before the insulation and sheetrocking. I'm still waiting on the electrical & framing inspections also. On Monday (Memorial Day), my dad and I will go back to take care of some other preparations.
