Looks great, Shawn.
Nice job Shawn, Last door I put in was at my cabin and it took longer than I thought so I finished it with my SUV headlights on so I could see what I was doing.
For a normal person that is like a years worth of work...for you...two hours.
You've been hard at work. Looking forward to seeing your finished project.
See the blue stilts leaning on the wall? That makes really quick work of the high stuff.
So...you are saying that you are short? Yeah...I don't have that problem.See the blue stilts leaning on the wall? That makes really quick work of the high stuff.
This cat knows how to work. I've seen him working in person when we moved and rebuilt my cabin. Nice stilts! They take some getting used to but become extensions of your body after a while. I can see you are tearing back the layers of time there in those walls. One of my bathrooms in the old house in NY had 7 layers of linoleum, and I stopped tearing out at 7 because I had the depth I needed so the carpet would match the tile height around the toilet. I bet there was a couple more layers there, but backer board covers up a multitude of sins 
Looks good, thanks for taking us along on it.

Normally I don't feel it being 5'8", but standing next to you.......So...you are saying that you are short? Yeah...I don't have that problem.
Yeah..... stopped there and framed in a stud wall. One side was 2 1/2 inches out of square and 3/4 of an inch shallower than the other part....
New windows are in the kitchen and "mud room". Walls are now done in the mud room also. Just need to paint the ceiling and get some trim up. Still discussing what we are doing with the concrete floor if we are going to tile it or just paint it.
None of the studs were put in correctly..... They were just wherever. Some 16 inch centers, some 19, some 11..... and nothing on a common starting point so it took some creativity to get things done right.

love that wood and the careful attention to the pattern/colors. Great job!
Another setback.......
Took the sink out tonight and when the corner cabinet came out the wall jiggled and you could see outside....
The whole corner is rotted out.
So.... another day off work tomorrow, more treated 2x4s, some green zip board, and some foam board insulation and we will have a new corner in our kitchen.
A little repair on the floor needs to be done also but that actually works to my benefit as the gas line and electric for the stove were ran by a complete moron. That will open up some space for me to do that since it barely qualifies for a crawl space under the kitchen.

Umm, what about duct tape?
That's what my wife USED to do.... I think I'd rather put the few hours in and do it correctly though.
Ps . I actually had her permission to give away that secret of hers.
Wow, that would totally set me back. Of course, you are taking it in stride.
Wasn't too bad Bruce.
Cut the wall out, take the remnants of the rotted sil and floor out, anchor a sil plate to the concrete, build a knee wall, then close it in.
Now just a few stringers inside to hold the new floor, but that is after I get the electric and gas line fixed.

That would take me about 3-4 weeks!
