4.19.2020

The final coat of polyurethane that Jim bought on the first batch of moldings last night is all dry and ready to be moved to his staging area for installation...


Then he started getting the side rails for the next cabinet planed to the right thickness...


After lunch, we decided to see if we could get the chipper going.  Jim had charged the lawn mower's battery overnight because that had to be moved first.  Then he used his tool dolly to move the chipper to the edge of the pole barn, put the hitch on the Bobcat and started to move it out...


However, the battery in it was dead so out came the charger.  Jim put air in its tires while he was waiting.


It was a very windy day so we decided to work on the side where the chippings weren't blowing back into our faces...


Jim's working through the piles.  But check out the difference in the sky between the previous picture and this one.  It started looking very threatening and my weather app said it was going to start raining in 13 minutes.  Jim still had lots of equipment out so we decided to call it a day.


However, we still got lots done and look how much better it looks!


Blowing off all the debris from the chipper...


Then using the tool dolly to put it away...


Jim was able to perfectly back it into its designated spot in the pole barn...


Once he got everything put away, the skies were back to being blue with no rain in sight.  That's what the mountains will do!  So we decided to do a little more outside work.  First, Jim wanted to cut off these broken branches from a pine tree.  Jim's ultra-careful but some jobs still make me nervous!


 That job done, time to do a little more pruning of the thorn bushes...


Look out much better it looks already!  There are some things here that Jim needs the chainsaw for plus we were running out of time...


Because the last thing Jim wanted to accomplish today was to put the final coat of polyurethane on the remaining molding pieces.  Cleaning them off...


All done!
