The weather was really nice this morning - nice and warm.  Unfortunately, Jim had to spend that nice weather getting ready for Scott to come over to help him move the tools from the truck.  But a necessary evil - that needs to be done and we are just grateful for the help.

Jim got the shop all ready for the tools...sure looks nice!



Then he brought the truck around and spent time making things easily accessible for the move...



Finally he was able to think about doing some outside work - here he's predrilling the top window trim.

Attaching the trim to the top of the window...

 

Looks good!  Unfortunately, the weather changed and just as we were getting ready to eat lunch, it started raining.

 

So Jim started doing some inside work - Scott ended up coming over about 3:00 and the rain had stopped by then.  These tools are SO heavy - it was great to have another strong man to help.  Here they are moving the top of the planer into the shop.

Putting the top onto the planer...



Next is Jim's radial arm saw table...another crazy heavy piece.

Using the mover's straps to help carry it in...

The last task was to try and get the top onto the log splitter...they were able to get this done too so it was a very successful afternoon!  The log splitter will just stay on the truck - Jim can strap it down and it will be fine. 

 

 

Scott had brought his girlfriend's little girl with him so I spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her out from underfoot!  They stayed quite awhile talking and checking out the carriage house.

 

We got a big surprise this evening - Kyle & Julia called and they are on their way up for a visit!  We're excited to see them!  Unfortunately tomorrow is supposed to be another rainy day but I'm sure Jim and Kyle will find lots to keep them busy!
