2.25.2016

It rained on/off all day.  Jim went out in the morning to see what kind of damage control he needed to do for the water leaking into the downstairs shop, but was pleasantly surprised.  The buckets caught most of the water and they hadn't overflowed during the night - all good news.

However, the rains have created such muddy grounds.  The ground is still frozen except for the top few inches so there's nowhere for the water to drain.  But we have no standing water anywhere like we see in many yards.  Just makes it messy to walk around.

I brought lunch out and we headed to Lowe's during a rainy period.  Jim had to talk to his rep about his latest quote, which includes everything from shower doors to trim boards to electric panels.

It was good that we went - we did some more exploring of the shower doors and decided to go with a different one.  It's really beautiful and well made.  We'll wait and see how the quotes come back but it was fun to look at all that.  We checked out tile and flooring a bit too as we walked through the store.

Jim was able to get a good price on the electric panels - one for the main box and one for the subpanel in the downstairs shop.  We were able to take those today so that he can get started when he's ready.  We also bought a big box of electric boxes.  Fun to think about working on all of the wiring - hopefully we may be able to flip a few switches in the near future!


After we got back, Jim got back to work on the rafters.  He tweaked the fit of one of the rafters that he wasn't real happy with and then moved on to making the rafters for the dormer window area.

 
Another good day of work when the weather didn't really cooperate!  We are headed for a big change in temperatures come tomorrow.
