It was an interesting day.  Jim needed a new paint sprayer for all the cabinet and door work he's got on the horizon and has been looking at the best options.  He found the exact model he wanted on eBay for way less than he could get anywhere else - it was a display model but never used and in the box with all tags on.  He won the auction and we were very excited.  Until we saw that it shipped to our old apartment address.  We tried everything to get it switched but nothing worked.  Jim got notice that it was going to arrive today so I camped out in our old apartment parking lot to wait for the FedEx truck!  I had my Kindle and Diet Coke, so life was good.  Jim, however, probably got nothing done because he felt so bad and texted me every 15 minutes to make sure all was good.  I will say that the apartment has really gone downhill even more - sure made me grateful that we are now living on Angel!  

The wait was worth it - Jim is thrilled with the new paint sprayer.  There will definitely be a learning curve to using it but it is just what he wanted at a great price.

With the new primer I picked up yesterday, Jim painted the back of the face frame...

As well as the sides of the microwave cabinet...

I also picked up some new elbow conduit pieces, so Jim was able to make a better vacuum system connection to the planer.

Jim tried out our semi-gloss paint sample - I'm still thinking satin.

Jim also started prep work for our first interior door - it will go on the second bedroom since it doesn't have a door yet.  He used the jointer to straighten the edges and then glued two pieces together.  How nice is the workbench for these projects?

Jim delved into troubleshooting the chipper issues as well today.  He took off the fuel pump and filter and is going to order new ones.  Hopefully that will fix the problem!

At the end of the day, Jim did some more moving of logs back into the woods...

He basically has them all gone - all that is left are the stumps that the tree people left when they timbered part of the lot.  Jim is going to take those back and eventually dig a hole and bury them.  But this area is looking really nice now.
