Jim is putting in more electric - we decided to put security lights in the back of the house.  That necessitates a switch in the living room as well as running more wire.  He got the receptacle box mounted and then drilled the hole through all the layers.  He glued the conduit through the hole once I got there to push down on the upper piece - but I failed miserably on taking a picture of it.  That will come! 

 

I also failed to take a picture - or even look! - at the stack coming out the roof.  Tomorrow!  Once I got there today, we were busy.

Jim did some rearranging of things in the metal shop.  He moved some insulation out of the way...

Then rearranged the chipper.  Even with trickle-charging the battery, it's totally dead so that's another thing on the to-do list.

Then Jim moved the new bandsaw out of the way.  All of this enabled Jim to get the lawn mower out of the corner and make things more accessible.

Then the rest of the afternoon, we worked outside.  During one of our deliveries, the driver totally missed the driveway and made huge ruts in the yard.  Time to fix it!  Jim brought dirt from a pile he had near our sand pile - he probably brought down 15-20 tons of dirt!

I was on rock duty, picking out all of the rocks from the dirt and using some to fill in the ruts.

Taking shape...

All done!  Jim was picking up some grass seed at Lowe's - the last bulk grass seed we bought doesn't seem to be doing anything - so we wanted to experiment with some other kind.

 

Some of the items from Jim's Lowe's order came in so he headed out to Lowe's at the end of the day.  He picked up a few more plumbing items along with the grass seed, so we'll be good to go!
