Hey Hankster!, ugg, one way or another my friend, soon. The new lid should arrive tomorrow maybe. In the mean time, Lowered the curtain rod by 2 inches or so. Major task. Wired and mounted the kitchen Led light. Finally! Procured 45 or so more linear feet of T&G. Sanded and applied lacquer coat. That should do it and then some.
This is really slow going. Still have to butt connect those two yellow wire nuts there in the pic, but not too much more before I button this up. But I said that days ago.
