Today I hung 1/2" threaded rods from the rafters that will eventually hold up an antique ladder that we will use for a pot rack over the kitchen island.. These rods will eventually have 1/2 " metal tubing slid over them for a better look. This had to be done prior to the spray foam insulation.

Here is the antique ladder we found. It is a vintage citrus picker ladder, used to pick fruit while leaning against a tree. We shortened it and now perfect for a Florida cottage. This will be hanging from the four metal rods 7'6" off of the floor for a pot rack.

Also prepared the area that will become the threshold separating the entry from the living room. Filled the voids with pressure treated wood and foam.

Then cut to size and reshaped an old salvaged piece of cypress to use for the threshold. Once stained it should look like it was always there.
