Call in a lead extraction!

Everything seemed fine until I decided to make a packet of ramen because we had leftover pasta, but not a significant amount of sauce, but after I threw that on the stove I remembered the remaining half of the Subway Mom bought me days ago.

I thought that it would be nice to dip the sandwich in the spicy cheese liquid, but I knew it was too much food.

I enjoyed it, but then felt sleepy.

Of course I couldn't nap. I tried!

So, I wandered around for a while, but unable to find any brains, I used power tools!

Installing a 1x2 wouldn't work. Maybe a 1x4.

No, a 2x4. Pre-drill the clips, screw them into the back of the 2x4, and screw that perpendicularly into the existing 2x4.

The one thing is that the clip would have stuck out more.

I didn't think of any of that. Cutting out 1.5" of fiberglass insulation would have been vastly easier than chiseling out foam board, but I didn't want to go that route.

I screwed in the 2x4 and, since the clips would back up to fiberglass, I bought, trimmed, pre-drilled, and screwed another piece of roof trim to the stud. Then I pre-drilled the drywall and the roof trim and put in drywall screws.

The cordless screwdriver died. When I came back my headlamp died.

I finished about 2100.

I had 6 screws left. Walmart sells them, but run to the store, flip 7 sheets of drywall down and up against the other wall, clean any mold, stretch the kraft paper and staple in 10 more stir sticks, measure, trim, and install 37(?) screws.

That is too much for one night, right?
