It’s Nice Having Seniority
I went to sleep early last night and woke up refreshed. Two of us started working on installing the cedar siding while two others worked on hanging the vapor barrier on the outside of the second story.
Since I’m no longer the FNG, I managed to get out of working on the ladders and instead was able to install siding. On the smaller sections, I cut boards while my compatriot installed them. It’s easy to make a lot of progress working in this fashion.
As we move up the walls, we will set up scaffolding and head skyward. Although working from a stable platform is much safer than a flimsy extension ladder, all that climbing up and down is still a lot of work.
The view from this house is not nearly as good as the old environment because the back yard is filled with large trees to obstruct the view. The elevation on this place is a little higher, so I’m sure the view would be quite spectacular, but I doubt the local authorities would allow them to start clearing trees to improve the picture from their back window.
Once again, I finished the day out at 178 pounds. I’m convinced this is a testament to the fact that I’m building some muscle mass, because I’ve dropped a couple of notches on my belt but haven’t dropped a lot of weight. From what I hear, people that start working out sometimes see a temporary weight gain as they build muscle mass, but the growth levels out and the fat starts to burn more as the weeks pass. Time will tell I guess.
