It wasn't easy to get to Madison today—traffic was backed up on Interstate 90 going north as it appeared every person from Illinois was coming into Wisconsin. Once I had arrived, however, the work began. Xiphos was a great help today. We finished the air intake plenum, the and the floor. He had to leave for a few hours, and I cut the sides and sanded them. My new belt sander made this task pretty quick, and the sanding should allow the doors to slide smoothly. Xiphos came back and helped attach the sides, and the 3/4” door spacers. At this point it was quite late. We caulked, painted, and called it a night.

Today begins the construction of my sleeping quarters. I only had a couple hours to work, so I didn't get a great deal finished, but it was a start. I started by gluing the 1/8” hardboard to the 3/4” plywood what will make the top of the bench. This way, I could stack a bunch of weight on it and allow the glue to try while I worked on other tasks. The first items to be constructed are the light blocking air plenum. And the exhaust plenum was completed today.
