Jim was back in the metal shop this morning - check out all these circuits!  Probably can't see to well from this picture, but he has used tape and written which circuit it belongs too - since this is temporary, that will help him when he does everything permanently.

But all the 120V circuits are done in this bay now - so face plates are on and it's good to go!

Even though it was cold out, he then switched gears and went back to work on the pole barn - here he's using his shears to make the different cuts on the corner pieces...

Fitting pieces...

Back corner is done...

All of the corner pieces are now in place!  Jim has just enough fasteners to hold them in place - he can put more in as weather allows.  The corners really make it look finished.

Mid-afternoon, Jim got a call from the tree cutter.  He asked Jim if it would be okay for him to come out this afternoon.  Jim said sure and the guy said they'd be leaving and would be at the property in about 30 minutes.  Then he called shortly after and said that they just blew a hose on their truck.  They were going to try and repair it and still be out, but if they couldn't, they would come tomorrow.  So Jim was left a bit in limbo, wondering if they were going to come.  They didn't so hopefully tomorrow.  After those crazy winds we had on New Year's Day, we really want that tree down!

Speaking of those winds, Jim went to move his car so it would be out of the way of the tree cutters.  Check out the mud on the car...the winds were strong enough that they threw mud from the ground up   all over his car!
