Since my buddy Dave McNelis rules so much and is giving me a ride over to Menards to pick up some wood, I should be building a phatty chuck of the floor ... or atleast a proof of concept because I doubt Menards will have all the wood I need in stock. The one in Yorkville, IL (parent's house) only had enough to build maybe 1 floor section. I figure this is actually a hidden blessing since I can build the floor out bit by bit and figure out the issues right away.

FINALLY, I get to use my power tools for destruction. And I think I'll need to buy a few tools too, namely a DeWalt power tool kit. I know I'll need some beefier clamps.

I also need to figure out a way to raise the other sections of my floor. I'm thinking some 2x4's and some plywood.

And now, I sleep since I just worked 12 hours and will need to repeat chances are tomorrow.
