Jim did some rearranging in the metal shop today - he put the protective pads on the dining room table and then stacked the chairs on top.  We'll be able to store boxes on top and underneath to make things a bit more accessible.

Then he started working on our bookshelves at the bottom of the stairwell.  He made wood blocking to go behind the steel so that he can fasten them together - no tipping bookshelves!

Starting to assemble the shelf structure...

Putting more steel up...

Putting spars across the shelves...

Both sides are done.  This way, Jim can cut the plywood down so that he can get more shelves out of a piece of plywood and everything will be fastened together so they will be really strong for all those books!



Putting the plywood shelves on...

Fastening them down...

End of the day - looking great!

We got our first mail delivery today!  However, it would have been much more exciting if it wouldn't have been a Spectrum bill!  They sure don't waste any time.

Can you spot the first red leaf of the season? 

 

High 74/Low 53 - gorgeous!
