We seem to be making great progress. This week we got both containers up on the concrete pads, welded 1/4″ steel plates that next week will be bolted down to the pads. The welder also had a plasma cutting torch so he cut out spots for a door in each container. See below for pictures.
Erect 4′ walls on top of containers to support roof trusses.
Put roof trusses above the walls to allow 12-14′ overhead clearance between containers to allow room for the 5th wheel trailer to park underneath.
Put on metal roof over trusses, and wall off the South end of the structure to allow trailer to be parked out of the prevailing winter winds.
Put down layer of gravel between containers and park the 5th wheel trailer in between the trailers.
In other news the Condo in Portland was on the market for about 4 hours before I accepted an offer. The offered price was $617K, well above the asking $599.9K with the provision that it be accepted before 9:00pm. It is scheduled to close next Friday 9/24. Counting down.
I met with doctor with an eye to establishing a Personal Care Physician. She happened to be a female, Dr. Corrie White, but after having Dr. Lori Gluck for 20 years it was a non-issue. She was younger, (est mid-30’s) but knowledgeable and we discussed my health issues at length. She wants to see me in 2 months for a A1C check and foot exam (poking) and is planning to do bloodwork, etc. I asked her my go/no-go question: “What is your opinion of Ivermectin?”. She immediately acknowledged that that was a medicine whose use was now heavily politicized. She acknowledged it’s use for 20 years without issue, until COVID hit. I think she gave a reasonable answer.
