7.23.2019

Jim worked this morning continuing to make the door for the auto bay attic.  He made the outer face frame - he's gluing up pieces of wood to make the bottom piece.


This is the way it will go together, the front part of the door encasing the foam board inside with a flat panel on back.  That will keep all the cold air out of the shop!


Jim also is starting to plan for the dormer in the stairwell.  First step was to take the temporary drywall off.  (So sad to lose the lovely scenic view Jim drew on it - ha!)


Everything was in great shape behind the drywall, which was great considering that the outside covering on this area is just temporary as well.


In the afternoon, Jim headed out to ABC Roofing to pick up his soffit piece that finally came in.  He took his saw because it comes in 16' sections.  He just bought one piece but it came strapped down to 2" x 6" boards - they didn't want them so Jim cut those in half too.  So he came home with eight 2" x 6" x 8' boards for free!  The cost of those at Lowe's would have been the same as he paid for the soffit - so a good deal!  Jim can use them for concrete framing or shelves in the pole barn.


After dealing with the roofing company, he stopped at the Drywall Center.  He has been working on the details for the dormer window and stopped and ordered the steel he will need to do that project.  

I had bought this sign years ago and Jim had it hanging outside the pole barn in Ohio.  He hung it up this morning outside the wood shop.  Not that the sign is referring to me or anything - ha!


Jim finished off the day doing some more grass cutting.
High 75/Low 54 - beautiful!
