Jim worked more on the Pex plumbing tubing today - he got the hot and cold lines for the shower all attached to blocking and the deck...


...and brought up into the shower wall!


Jim got the new manifold for all the Pex plumbing mounted to the wall in the utility room.


Working on fastening the tubing to the blocking...


In the afternoon, it was back outside.  We're going to start working on shingles again soon in this area so scaffolding is next on the agenda.  Jim wanted to build up this area a bit more first.


He needed more dirt for that so he spent some time doing a little more grading in the trench area...


Looks better than it did before we started working!


Jim wanted to see if the chipper would start - he wanted to get the branches chipped up from the tree that fell at the bottom of the driveway.  With grass mowing season now, we have to clean up some of the branches around the property.  The chipper started right away, however, a big bunch of leftover debris shot up the shoot and down Jim's back - this is after most of it fell off!


Working on chipping...I dragged the branches over to Jim and he operated the chipper.  (This was always one of Kyle's favorite jobs - soon, Kyle - just get well first!)


Looks so much better - Jim will need to try out his new chain saw on the trunk!

 
Speaking of mowing, Jim finished up the day doing a bit of mowing....
