9.27.2019

Jim worked in the wood shop this morning on the window frames.  He first had to take apart the frames and he started staining...


All done!


After lunch, we headed outside to work on the electric line for the generator.  Jim had already sized and assembled the conduit going into the generator.  Once he made sure it all fit, he started gluing the pieces...


Then he fed one end of the electric wire through the conduit and pull elbow box...


Then locking the conduit into place inside the generator...


Next we put the electric wire into the trench...


All laid out nicely in the line with plenty of room on the end to go up the conduit into the switch box...


Time to put a nice layer of sand on top...


Then a layer of dirt...


Both the gas line and the electric wire are all safely buried...


 Continuing down putting sand over the electric wire...


Just for safety precautions, we brought out the red caution tape to go on top of the lines before putting more dirt on top.


Once Jim had everything secure, he was able to use the Bobcat to fill in the rest of the trench...


Looks really nice!


Jim dug down a little more but still hasn't found the bottom of the conduit.


We had all this gravel behind the stairwell because that's where we had our original small propane tanks.  So we shoveled that into the Bobcat...


 More shoveling...


Jim dumped the gravel near the concrete pad for now.


Jim spent some time leveling out the concrete pad area...


At the end of the day, we continued our surveillance of the timbering.  We heard the sounds of cutting early this morning, but nothing the rest of the day.  I'm sure it's wishful thinking, but I've got my fingers crossed that he's done!  Pictures of the devastation...


Just so sad...

 Wanted to be sure and wish our Aunt Sandy back in Ohio a very happy birthday!  We love you!
High 66/Low 48 - beautiful!
