I get to learn how to use the saws! Really looking forward to the scroll saw. I saw a vardo the other day that had gingerbread even for the window trim. It was fantastic! I would like the license to go nuts.

Went to Habitat to get some of those so-plentiful spindles and they were all gone. I don’t know if there will be more anytime soon or if I need to do something different. Shall I learn to chamfer?

Also need to clean up the reclaimed windows and door. They’re dirty and the windows still have caulk stuck on. 

Giving more thought to the interior, I want trim to cover the horizontal seams in the paneling. That’s a really great application of a chair rail. If a proposed chair rail overlaps the upper electrical chase, so much the better – I can embed outlets and switches in the rail rather than just the paneling and OSB, for a nice look and greater stability. I’ll have to measure it all out and see.

I may be able to get electrical and some plumbing in before Jamboree after all. Keeping an eye on timing and funding, but it could be possible.

I probably do want some kind of light fixture outside the front door, but I have very little depth to work with. Hmmm …

What do you call those strips that cover up exposed wiring? I’ll probably need some of those for light fixtures as I don’t think the roof panels come with chases.

One thing I haven’t mentioned or depicted is an exterior box on the tongue end for the various utilities. But there should be one. If I get to install utilities before Jamboree, then yay. But if I don’t, I’ll want to put the box on the outside as planned, and put a framed panel on the inside so I have access to the SIP later.

I had a wrong number call a couple of mornings ago. Didn’t think much about it until after I hung up, but then realized he’d said he’s an electrical contractor. God thing maybe?

Got a good lead on assembly location. There’s a storage place in Provo that has warehouse sized units with power and heat that can be used as workshops. I have an inquiry in right now.
