The thred is ded tonite.

I'm busy outlining, trying to puzzle through the how and why of the final "battle". There will be a brief mushy moment between the MCs before they head off into certain death.

We did some prep work for the kitchen remodel today. We moved the temporary header to the den. It had been set up in the kitchen, first, holding up the back wall so we could replace the sliding door with a double window and single door. We had to replace the one long header with the two over the new openings. After that, it was holding up the load bearing wall between the kitchen and den. Since we increased the opening from the kitchen to the den from 40" to 72", SirKit and Joseph had to replace the shorter header with a longer one. Now, when I'm working in the kitchen, I can see not only the TV, but also the fireplace, and folks sitting in there!

The temporary header is cool. It's made from two airplane wing jacks we got from a place in GA that sells surplus items from Warner Robbins AFB. They were designed to hold up the wings of C5A Galaxy aircraft! They're big; we call them Jack and Jill. SirKit created a tall I-Joist that can be slipped into the slots on top of the jacks, then we crank it up so it presses up against the ceiling. Works like a charm!

In order to set it up in the den, I had to clean off my desk. UGH! Well, I needed to do it sometime, anyway. Now I need to put papers in files, or throw them away, anything but put them back on the desk!
