Second Floor

Ryan spent some time here yesterday to check out the bedroom and basement work. He said the basement is fine, doesn’t need braces, but the floor project needs to be redone. He’s concerned about the low ceiling and how high the floor can reasonably be built.

I think replacing the existing light and fan with a lower profile model would be a good idea. Ryan is correct, the room is less than seven feet high now.

Postponed delivery of the carpet.

I filled out two permits, one for electric and one for the cellar door. Joe was here. Cement block is in place for the door.

We found the recycling center, just down the street on Mass Ave. They have a machine that counts big loads: a feature we haven’t seen before.

Took route 2 to 8 on impulse from North Adams; found Hairpin Turn. Enjoyed the ride to and from Pittsfield through Adams and Cheshire. Ron was suitably enthused about the views, perhaps because we were on the hunt for Grand Macnish.

After getting advice on possible retail locations from a distributor in Downing Industrial Park, we ended up at a good-sized liquor store on Dalton Ave. They didn’t have Macnish so we bought a different brand of Scotch; hope we like it.

We were “done” after getting back.
