 Jim worked this morning back in the metal shop.  He got more conduit and boxes in place to extend the matrix for the next bay...  He's out of conduit and other miscellaneous parts - after church tonight, we are heading into Lowe's to pick up an order so he can keep on working!

Here he's using his hot knife to carve out space for a receptacle box in the foam.  He'll be able to plug in the vacuum right next to it.  He's on a mission to get rid of extension cords!

 Continuing that mission - he's going to put another receptacle box on the other side of the door - we'll be able to use that for the treadmill.

Taking the wire path above the doorway was tricky - there's already wire and conduit going down to the switch box by the door.  Jim had to go close and then kind of carve underneath the wire by hand to make sure he didn't cause any damage.

Even though the weather wasn't great, Jim spent some time working outside.  He got brackets put up in the pole barn so he can hang various tools.

He also spent time cleaning up the pallet situation - someone is coming in the morning to take all the pallets and use them for a New Year's Eve bonfire!  We had stuck them out of the way earlier and they were full of gravel and ice.  This picture is mid-clean up - they are now nicely stacked and ready to be hauled away.  Jim did take a couple of the nicer pallets up to the pole barn to put on the floor temporarily until we get gravel and concrete in the spring.

Picking up more conduit and wire at Lowe's...
