Getting There!

My favorite holiday weekend is going on. I had planned on renting a truck and fighting the crowds at Home Depot to get the rest of the insulation that I needed. Alas, the truck I usually get was rented for the day. So I had to change my plan. Instead I finished hooking up my drain vent. Hopefully it’s ok. It goes up somewhere upstairs. I’ll have to find it when I get to work on the upstairs.

Then I started on the wall and made pretty good progress.

At one point, I ran out of screws and had to go to Home Depot to get some more. I bought the screws on the right in the photo below. I had been using the screws on the left. There was no comparison. The ones on the left worked so much better. I remember Mickey telling me about them a few years ago. He got them from Menards, which isn’t near me. Home Depot doesn’t sell that type, so I bought the regular philips head. After having problems with the first three I tried to use, I ended up driving all the way out to Menards to get the good ones again. It’s hard to believe how much easier they go in.
