House update: Wednesday

[electricland]

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch, Gill, Dan, David, John and I had boughten
tourtiere with salsa and salad.

Dan bought goods and chattels, including cladmate shiplapped (duh?) and
the inevitable drywall. Gill chauffeured. This afternoon, Gill will prime.

Dan shot himself in the finger with the finishing nail gun but suffered no
serious injury except to his how-could-I-be-so-stupid index.

David and Dan did flooring on the first floor.

Carol A has come over to the house to do plugs--her fav's.

David is off camping in Muskoka tomorrow. (See Dan's index above.)
Cheers all, Helen

shiplap is a, ah, type of edge joint. Like tongue & groove? Except where t&g has a tongue on one side and a groove on the other, sort of a 33/33/33 % deal, shiplap is 50/50. I'm totally empty on ways to expain this. It overlaps. Nuff said.

Cladmate sounds like a brand of siding or something.

Ah. Google reveals it is solid Styrofoam insulation.
