8.1.2016

The forecast showed some rain for today - although we didn't get a drop!  But we had already decided that it wouldn't be a brick day.  Jim wanted to press on with a few of the projects he started yesterday.

He got the first stringer for the metal shop stairs in place this morning - very exciting to start to envision stairs down here!  Jim is going to order a few more pieces of steel angle that he wants to use to make a better connection to the landing.

 
Most of the rest of the day was spent on wiring and overhang work.  Jim got the channel cut and the wires for the outside light on the other side of the garage door in place.
 

Then he used his hot knife to cut the channel for the other light - this one will go between the second garage door and the man door.


The hot knife is such a cool tool - it just makes easy work out of cutting a pretty channel in the foam!


All cut!


 
The Jim got wire run to the box as well as the wires run from all the lights to the inside through our conduit piece that we put in the wall last year!


After that, it was overhang work.  We had decided that we wanted to extend the overhang one more section.  That required Jim to make new steel pieces and mount them.  He also had to take the front fascia backing piece off and rework that.  But, we are happier with the shape of the overhang now.
