7.20.2019

Hope everyone is doing okay with the heat wave that hit a big part of the country this weekend.  Just think...in a few months, we'll be complaining that it's too cold!  But still...everyone take it easy and drink lots of water!

The heat was big news in this parts because they canceled the horse races at the Saratoga Race Track - the first time a race was canceled for heat since 2006.

Jim modified my temporary table top today - the plywood was still a big rough and made it hard to adjust the tablecloth.  Jim took the top off, rounded off the edges and put a piece of plastic over the top before stapling it back in place.  It's great now!


Jim did some reading up on Corian last night, watching YouTube for some tips.  It's very important to have the Corian very flat when you are gluing so Jim is going to use some of our old toe boards to make some runners to go underneath the Corian.  But first he has to get them all to the same exact size, so he did some planing this morning.


After lunch, he decided to dig out more stumps.  He took out a couple of smaller ones...


Before starting to tackle the giant stump left over from the tree we cut down this spring.


Jim worked for over two hours digging around the stump.  These roots are as big as some tree trunks!


Digging from all angles...


He has it basically all dug around the stump with roots separated and it was only right before he came in that he even got the stump to budge a little.


Off to church...
High 90/Low 73 - excessive heat warning
