Awake: 6:21am Temp 22 sleep 6+52 mostly sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After our KK meeting, K & I visited Bernie & the workers in the house; they are putting sleepers on the floor in both wings. Sleepers are strips of wood (1) inch square which are fastened by glue & nails.
Later the geo-thermo tubing will run alongside the sleeper which will help keep the floor level while pouring the gyp concrete.
Our house was busy today as the 84-Lumber guys came in with their truck & shot cellulose insulation (cut-up) shredded newspaper in the attic to further insulate the ceiling.
Next K & I motored to Milliken Milwork, Inc in the town of Sidman, PA.,about (32) miles one way. We were looking for inside doors & Randy showed us the options we had with the Jeld Wen company.
Some of these doors we are interested in; Kathy really likes this one.
Next we asked Randy if we could have a factory tour; "not a problem" he responded.
Then we found out that the door skins are made in Australia, sent to Jeld Wen in Oregon where the doors are assembled & then sent to Millikin for finishing with frames, glass, etc.Talk about a run-around! Here we have a loaded stock ready for people like us.
Just before our tour of the factory began, we met Dan, from Nicktown, who has worked for Milliken for about 3 yrs & enjoys it.
On our return to Nicktown, we stopped @ Sherwin -Williams store,
for paint color samples.
Then to Wal-Mart for groceries & West End Market for more groceries, a stop to refuel the Suzuki & a stop along the way to pay for our Real-Estate Taxes.
Dinner: Bacon mushroom burger with smothered onions on an English muffin & spicy roasted broccoli; yummy good.
Lights out: 10:49pm.
