Walls and Wall•e



Tonight we're going to see Wall•e at the drive in theater (yes, evidently, we still have a drive-in nearby), which seems appropriate because today I started on the walls. First, I put in insulation wherever I could stuff it in the exterior walls. Second, I corrected the electrical boxes that were installed yesterday (they were all at the wrong depth for the walls I was planning on putting in. Third, got seriously down to business and started cutting, putting up, and screwing in the drywall. It's pretty much finished except for a one panel where I need some deeper wallboard screws. I did one corner and one seam, and they look like they should come out nice—a couple more for tomorrow, when I'll also get down to the more serious business of patching the plaster. No time to write more today, since we're leaving imminently, but tomorrow I will ponder the Lacanian question: what is the
real of my kitchen? 

(the answer, of course, is the sink)
