8.23.2022

Jim worked in the shop this morning - here's the progression of his modifications to the end trim piece for the bottom channel for all the air conditioning lines on the outside of the house.  The original design (top cut off) was too small to fit all the lines Jim was able to squeeze in.  So he kept cutting off slices until he got it to the right size...


The weather was very iffy today, with rain forecast.  Jim wanted to get his new transmission jack cleaned up, so it was a good time to do that.  He had to use the Bobcat to bring up the jack and then go back and bring up the power washer.  Then he had to make all the connections - again, this hydrant hasn't been used for connecting anything so Jim had to find parts and pieces!  Spraying some detergent on the jack to help remove some of the grease...


Spraying it off.  It did a really nice job.  


Unfortunately, as Jim was finishing up, a strong thunderstorm came through.  Jim had just gotten in the Bobcat so he was completely soaked from the knees down!  Then he got stranded inside the pole barn for about 15 minutes until it stopped pouring enough that he could dash into the auto bay.

We had planned to knock off early and head into Lowe's to look at some tile edgings.  We decided to go ahead - it continued to rain on/off on our trip.  We didn't find any great solutions but did bring home a couple of pieces to try out.


High 80.3/Low 66.4 - stormy in PM
