Who designed this HVAC anyway?

So, here I am, framing a storage room in our unfinished basement, and the HVAC is running through the room and turns at 90 degrees and heads across the room. It's causing a bit of a nightmare in the attempt to frame for drywall.

Otherwise, my construction is great! I've got the whole room framed, a new dryer vent installed (we're moving the dryer 90 degrees to the wall it's currently on), and finished for the door. Got to work on electrical and insulation this week - Friday I'm hoping to get the drywall here and start that little joy.

Poor Wife, she's trying so valiantly to be supportive of my home-improvement efforts, but I think some days she's really very concerned with my construction. Oh well.

And yes, Sharon, I'm doing this during Lent. Lent's only on Wednesdays.

More to come, unless I electrocute myself.
