Happy Earth Day!
Back to sanding in the shop today...
Doing a test fit of the doors into the frame - looks amazing! Next step is to spray the gray color on the cabinets. Jim got his sprayer out and it needed charged, so it's charging as we speak and he'll spray tomorrow.

As these things always go, Jim had ordered a propane gas delivery at the beginning of last week, so of course it would arrive this morning just as we are getting ready to leave for Jim's followup appointment with the ophthalmologist. But Jim was able to go out and talk to him so that was good. This is the first time that we have gone all through the winter season without getting a top off, and this was a cold winter. We got about 520 gallons today so we're in good shape!
Once we got home and organized, I headed out to do a few errands and get another gallon of the cabinet paint.
This afternoon, Jim was back in the wood shop, sanding the door pieces...
A coat of paint on the front door panels - he'll later sand and then spray these again...
Drying...
A coat of primer on the door frame...
Jim ordered a timer for our outdoor garage door lights, so he was investigating that this afternoon...
It was an interesting weather day - when I was out, we had snow flying pretty fast and furious for a while. It didn't stick around and today was the first day we saw a couple dandelions too...

It was the perfect rainy day today - steady light rain all day. Always good in the spring, especially when you read that so much of the country is in a drought.
Also a good day to do some painting - starting to paint the gray on the cabinet pieces. The inside of the side pieces...
Door frame pieces drying...
Lots of pieces drying!

The temperatures are getting warmer, so Jim wanted to get our bathroom fan working again. If you remember, we had some issues with temperature changes causing condensation. Jim took the fan down and cleaned it well and we just blocked it off during the winter. Today, he sprayed cleaner on the flapper valve, because he thinks that was the issue...
Let the cleaner sit for a bit and then wiped it off...
Putting the fan assembly back together...
Then putting the cover on...
Cross that project off the to-do list!!
Off to church!
