Opening Season

This weekend we added another wall to the basement. This is the one under the laundry room. We rebuilt the silly header over window that the builder built. Three 2x4s laying flat is not the same as two 2x5s lying on edge. The original headers over both windows were sagging.

Today was the first day of spring. 74 degrees, a warm breeze (not wind), and sunshine. All the neighbors climbed out from under thier rocks and wandered over to the deck. We've been shuffling all the crap around in the basement as we move from area to area, so it was a relief to move the deck chairs outside. Much less stuff to shuffle. now.
