Tiny Details

Painting was the main accomplishment for the day. Maya finished painting the uninstalled clapboard while I started on the trim. By late afternoon we were back to hanging clapboard which should keep us busy for the next few days. I don’t care so much for the repetitive tasks on our tiny house project and much prefer the one-off precision work. After Maya left for an evening party, I fashioned an exit cover for the refrigerant lines to cover the expanding foam insulation used to seal the opening. It required two overlapping 1-1/4 inch holes drilled at an acute angle.  Once I built a jig to hold the workpiece the rest was fairly easy.  These are the kinds of details I enjoy working on and I am very pleased with the way this one turned out. The electrical wires from the code-required circuit disconnect box will be run through a liquid-tight tube when the HVAC unit is installed.
