Thanks for the offers, be careful though I may just take you up on it. (Kev, I might need help on the weekend or one day huffing the sump into the stand. Linda's already declared "I'm not helping you with that." )

...

Anyhow, the HRV (heat recovery ventilator) vent covers are in, as are the barndoor hanger tracks.

Now, you might be tempted to believe that going from here...


to here..


... wouldn't take about 4 to 5 hours of effort. But, apparently, you'd be mistaken. I sure was.. Hoooley geeez was this not a lot of fun getting those things up there.

Part of the problem was that I don't have proper mounting brackets for the tracks. All the proper brackets I could find are intended for .. well, hanging actual barn doors, so they are to sit flush against a wall parallel to the track. Since the track is perpendicular to the joists, I just drilled the track and screwed it right into the joists. Problem is, it doesn't matter how many times I measure, I have to cut (or in this case, drill) one time more than the measurements. Measure once, cut twice. Measure twice, cut .. er, three times. Apparently I suck at measuring. So there was a lot of drilling into the track going on tonight.

Guess you would hate me if I told you that that stuff also comes in a slotted back version, so no drilling required, Huh?

Atleast its up, right lol Now hang them lights
