While there is still a lot of snow cover on the ground, this picture is a reminder of how much was there. Back a month or so ago when Jim checked the gauge on the propane tank, he had to break through the ice and the top of the tank cover was well over a foot below that. Now you can see the top peeking out a bit! But it's important to note that the top of this cap is probably 18" above the ground!
Plus, the ice on the driveway is just about gone - definitely good news. It's very soft in places up near the pole barn where the plan was to get more gravel, but as soon as the ground thaws that will dry up. Of course, even though spring starts tomorrow, we're not done with winter weather - the forecast for Friday is 2-4" of snow!

Jim got the quote back for the steel order he needs to build the work bench, so he got that ordered and it will hopefully come in tomorrow morning.
He did some organizing in the wood shop this morning and put the first pieces of wood on the rack! I like how the cavity of the support arms will be able to hold shims and other small pieces.
After lunch, Jim headed out on some errands. He picked up the wire he needs to wire in the Tig welder in the metal shop, along with conduit for taking the air hose through the wall. He also stopped at a small motor shop he had gone to previously to see if they had the thermal breaker he needs for the old air compressor. With a shop that looks like this, how would you ever know? But the guy didn't have what he needed - he could order it but it would be very pricey.
