My living room has once again become a construction staging area. With the arrival of the metal for finishing the two pony walls in my sunroom, I needed a place where I can spread things out and do my “figuring.”
Metal is entirely
unforgiving. There is no covering over
poor cuts, scratches, or any other mistake.
When working with metal, I measure, mark the metal, and measure again before
cutting.
Deliberation is key.
Yesterday, after assembling
everything I need for the project, I grabbed a Cold Smoke beer and then stood
amid the materials sipping and considering my approach. You should be able to locate my beer in the
staging photograph I posted at the end of the blog.
I will continue my policy of hiding things within the framing and finish work. For this phase of construction, I will be leaving the receipt for my metal on the wall behind the metal panels.
