New Sewing Room - Part 2

When you live on an island, things always take a little longer as supplies have to come over by ferry, but bit by bit, things are moving along.

On Friday, our contractor appeared with 2 helpers.  The double garage door was removed and the framing went up in 2 1/2 hours.

As there will be 2 windows, one was framed in and the other cut on the blank garage wall and then sheeted in until the windows were available.  The exterior door and the door into the sewing room were hung and it was a joy to watch a skilled workman install doors the way they're meant to be done!

Then today it was window installation and the electrics.  Having 2 windows in the room gives it an amazing amount of light.  Already it's looking less like a garage and more like part of the house!

Then electrics.  There will be 2 LED light fixtures on the ceiling to make the room bright.  The north wall will have a large baseboard heater and there will be 5 outlets, all but one at mid-wall height which is perfect for a sewing room!  The one wall which won't have any outlets will be nearly all fabric shelving units.  For now they will be a mis-matched bunch but eventually I'll replace them with uniform units.  One thing at a time!

Next step - boarding, and the helpers will be back on the scene for that.  And then flooring and painting!  I'm finding it hard getting a good night's sleep as my brain is whirling with plans and plans and plans!
