Two days in

I didn't get a chance to post these pics at the time of taking them but it doesn't really matter now, they're up here anyway. The day following the buying of all our material Knesha and I realzie that my original plan of a room that was 8 feet by 10 feet was a little bit on the small side. So re-sizing the room to 14 feet by 16 feet requied a whole new pile of material that Alex Taylor was good enough to drive me all around burnaby and coquitlam to pick up more drywall and lumber. We got some really nice Red Oak for trim and the table legs, I'm looking forward to using it too. After we drove around for most of the day Alex and I unloaded the truck and I went to work on building the wall frames. I kinda felt the twinges of a cold creeping up on me but I was determined to fight it and sweat it out at work. This was not the best thing for my mental state because at around 8pm Kneesha showed up to help and as we were raising a wall it fell apart on us. I had been working for about eleven and a half hours and I was really starting to feel the cough and cold kick me in the teeth. Determined to erect at least one wall Knesha and I hammered it back togeather and set it upright and nailed the supports in place. We raised one more and I screwed one sheet of drywall on and decided to call it a day.
The next day was amost as good.
