Finally, the centre wall has been removed and the area is now open

Center wall had wood chips, cardboard, hay straw and shredded wood
for insulation


The sun is shining this morning when I woke up and it is indeed a most welcome sight.  With the garden nicely watered, it now needs sunshine and the warmth that it brings.  It will be up in no time.
We finally got the centre wall removed and now the space for the "man cave" is completely open.  It should be a good size for what we have planned for it.  the centre wall was insulated with wood chips, cardboard, hay, straw and shredded wood.  I guess that is what was used back in the "old" days.  It was quite a mess but it sure did burn nice in the fire place!!
Now all that needs to be done is get the panelling up and perhaps do something with the floor.  It is a bit of a mess but really, it is the man cave - a place to hang out and have a few beers and some laughs, out of the wind and the cold.  How fancy does one need to go?
The power company still has not shown up and the electrician has had all his work done for over a week now.  How slow can they be?  Power would be nice!!  We are still currently plugged into Gary for power and although that is good, I have to be careful with what I plug in and when because I have been known to blow his breaker a time or two and that is a pain the the arse!!  It will be nice when we can plug into our own power!!
With the destruction of the centre wall complete, we then measured for what material we would require to finish off the interior.  Happy Hour arrived just as we were finished with all the measuring so we timed that perfectly!!
Gary came over for a quick visit while John was cooking supper.  Once that was ready, he went home for his supper (Arlene was busy preparing it) and we ate and watched the second episode of The Hatfields and McCoys.  It is an awesome series.
TV concluded the rest of our evening then it was into bed and sleep.  One never knows what tomorrow may bring so we must get our rest while we can.
