its not just in your neck of the woods
i had a guy ram a blue lumber cart next to me in an aisle yelling it didnt move and then that i was blocking the aisle..HMMM i was in the lumber aisle with space between me and 3 guys with a gazillion 2x6 x12s
he could have passed between us, yet chose to be a DICK and ram empty carts next to me.
so my filter was off and i twisted my cart so my 2x6x10s blocked him and said bless your heart
sad part is had a buggy with 1 can of paint....why was he trying to be a dick at the lumber check out line???
anyway
i got a bit more done in the transition upstairs
the rough is done allowing access to the other room, now a few days of making sure attachment battens are up for the finish wall board to attach. all the metal will be behind finish wall boards
then rock-wool for sound
building rough for small storage THING it will only be 10 inches deep but it also will hide a panel to access a junction box. using some cherry stained doors i had from an OLD fridge as cabinet doors. wife is eagerly awaiting to refinish them now
