8/20/2014 - Install last 2 panels and finish painting.
Brandon and Leroy showed up this morning with a little trailer hauling a roll of hay. We moved it around to the back so we'll have something to cover the grass seed when we lay that down. My triple ball wouldn't fit in the tractor receiver so we had to steal the 2" ball from Brandon's truck. I don't think that it's ever been off of the bumper. I guess we could have just used his truck to pull the trailer around back, but I like doing things the hard way sometimes.
After re-locationg the hay, we started moving the rest of the sheet material that was covering the wall where the final two OSB panels needed to go. After we freed up the space, we installed the ledger board on the floor and installed two full panels and the short panels under each of the 4 windows.
Leroy made a window mask out of the vanity box and we started painting with the sprayer. All of the raw panels got at least one coat of white and the areas that weren't getting the gray paint got a second coat with some satin white mixed with the KILZ. Leroy then went to work with the roller to paint the welding area with 'Knight's Armor Gray'. I didn't want to go BLACK and this was the darkest gray I could find. I painted dark in the welding area to keep reflections to a minimum. There is nothing worse than light coming in from behind your helmet when trying to weld.
After we cleaned up the paint gun Leroy went to work fixing a slight leak I had under the vanity in the bathroom. A little pipe dope on the compression fitting threads fixed the problem.
