Being lazy or inventive? Probably both. It cost probably twice
more then to build soffit (the frame around the duct) by myself, but for me it will take a day or
more and I’m not sure about quality of my carpentry skills, so I decided to go
easier way – bought I-beams. It was the last thing in framing of the room and
took all three of us to install, but it went quick and I was glad I thought
about it :)
From now on I think
the basement is the warmest room in the house :) We didn’t use fiberglass for insullation, I hate
it, we went new way- stone fiber -fire, water, sound proof and no nasty glass
dust.
Dry-walling on
HGTV looks really easy, but in real life – it’s not. A lot of cutting and plaster dust. Sometimes it took
me a day to cut, then in the eve we all
three would put the panels in place. But we are moving forward. Archie always
a big help :), for some reason, he likes to lay down on the drywall sheets. Sometimes it takes a lot of
convincing and treats to move him to the other location.
Meanwhile.... playing with fluorescent powder and resin for
the inserts in my mini sink, brought old idea to life. For a long time I wanted
to make mezuzah, but with kind of trick. So with fluorescent tesserae idea came
glowing eye effect :o) Pretty cool, isn't it! :D
