It's way more fun to celebrate May Day when your name is May!  Definitely cause for celebration.

It didn't quite feel like May weather here - we were in the 40s all day.  Back in Ohio, they were in the 80s - no thanks!  Jim and I love this very gradual move into warmer weather.

But it was a mostly inside day for Jim.  He put the first coat of primer on the front face frame of the cabinet...

He also continued getting wood ready for the door.  The piece on the left will be one of the rails for the door - it's out of the glued pieces he did to give the rails more stability.

Continuing on with his equipment maintenance, he took apart the planer today to sharpen the blades.  This takes a lot of time - he probably spent close to 3 hours on this project.

The bottom blade is new - the other two are the old ones.  If you could see them close up, you would know they needed replaced.

He also spent time in the pole barn, getting oil ready to take in for recycling.  He had some old diesel oil that he had to filter so it was quite the messy operation.

At the end of the day, he spent more time cleaning up the turn-around area, moving probably half of the stumps.  It is really looking nice and clean.
