Jim started the day by taking my car to Tubbs to get its yearly safety inspection.  Unfortunately, they were busy this morning and couldn't do it then, so he had to take it back this afternoon.  But that chore is crossed off the list now.

Jim got the valve in the mail that he has been waiting for to finish up the generator gas connection so he was able to get all that put together.  He thought he would get it hooked up to the generator this afternoon but there was a chance of rain so he decided to wait.

Jim has been busy prepping the wood for door and window moldings...

Just a few more pieces of wood all planed!

He started making some of the back relief cuts today...

Time to get the machines ready for winter - the excavator cab is all covered now.

This afternoon, Jim worked on putting a shelf in the pole barn attic.  He first attached steel ties between the rafters...

The he used some leftover OSB for a shelf...

Starting to get more organized...

Jim did go over and talk to the tree butcher again this morning.  He felt a little better afterwards - the guy is about done timbering in the area near us and he says he's been cognizant about not cutting trees down to expose the view of our house.  He also told us that he gets orders from Mead Lumber on what size trees to cut down - that's where Jim has been buying the pine from so we can tell ourselves that we are using our woods' lumber!  The guy also told Jim that he's going to start doing some timbering on the very corner of our street.  That won't affect us because we are far enough down from the corner but I doubt our neighbor across the street will be very happy.
