2.26.2016

Today was a much colder day and the brisk wind only made it colder.  Jim went to the cold-formed steel place this morning to pick up some angle pieces.  He got all that unloaded into the shop as well as made two more rafters before he came home for lunch!


After lunch, I got all the angle taken apart and organized in our piles while Jim made more pieces for the side around the dormer window.


Lots of steel rafters waiting for a little warmer day to get installed!


Then Jim switched gears and opened up his new electric panel box!


He decided to change his initial plan of having the box on the outside bathroom wall to switch it to inside the bathroom.  That way he's not taking up any valuable wall space inside the shop.

However, that required moving the position of one of the rafters so that both flat surfaces faced in towards the box for mounting purposes.


Rafter is in right position now and Jim is fastening it down.


Jim decided to use these little baby studs (so cute!) to form top and bottom mounting plates for the box.


Attaching the mounting pieces...


Box is in position...


...and all fastened down!  So exciting to be installing the inner workings of the carriage house now!
