After installing the insulation, I installed some 11/16 OSB board. I added a coat of white primer which makes it a brighter work space. The next project will be to complete sheeting the walls and then start on the ceiling.
A couple of months ago, while visiting at Mom and Dad's in Cruso, I went scrounging for some wood in Tim's Home Depot. I found two boards I thought were cherry due to its deep red color. The planks were very rough cut and in need of planing. The fact that they were 15 inches wide pretty much limited the options available to me for getting it to a more usable form. A conversation with the owner of Patterson's Amish Furniture here in Morganton got me an invitation to his cabinet workshop where he planed them and ran them through his joiner. Once the boards made a few trips through the planer it became obvious it was not cherry at all but walnut. So much for my tree/wood identification skills. So now, I am ready to start working on Lisa's quilt rack. I think I'll make one out of poplar or pine first to work out the kinks before I tackle making one out of this nice wood.
The funny looking section in the middle of the planks is actually a feather'd grain that looks really pretty.
A brief chicken update: the chickens have received a reprieve as they have been laying eggs and have not eaten them in 5 days. If they keep this up, they'll avoid the crock pot for another year.
