First off, I found out that Tuesdays and Thursdays Home Depot has a discard pile of wood that is marked down to about $1 (orange) - $4 (purple) per board depending on what kind.

| This is a common view lately |
Second of all, it's a pain in the ass to try to straighten those suckers! It's not worth the $2 savings on studs that's for sure!

I had to use quite a bit of force to get this guy lined up....yeah, I splurge for straight next time it comes to using full length boards...lesson learned!

checking for squareness...
takes one to know one! ;-) |

And there she is...my new storage loft!
Already put to good use! |
The other goal for today was to get the electricity outlet hooked up. My friend Dave stopped by to check on my work and after some troubleshooting he realized that although I had hooked things up correctly, there was a broken wire inside the sheathing we weren't aware of. So, he took it to fix for tomorrow....nice guy!

The rest of the night was prepping and having some fun with the puzzle and artistic freedom putting up the barn board was! I LOVE this part of the process...so much fun now!

Working on wall sheathing where the counter will go...
I love how the barnboard turned out! |
