Jim worked this morning on rebuilding the foot pedal assembly.  He had to first heat the axle in order to remove the old parts.  Then part of the bearing was pressed on to the end - he saved the washer and used tack welds to hold it all in place.

Then he was able to put it back in the excavator and get the steel plating put back on the floor.

Since we picked up more polyurethane last night, he was able to get the rest of the cabinet pieces finished.

He also got the back side of the door panel pieces primed...

In the afternoon, we loaded up the Bobcat with some old wood blocks and extra stakes and took them up to the top of the hill.

Jim had done an amazing job clearing out the shed.  There's been some water damage and he had to remove a 4" thick coating of squirrel debris from the floor which caused the floor to be wet.  He's going to work on some better flashing just to keep the shed in good shape for a while longer.

We loaded up all the extra insulated concrete form webs that were stored in the shed and took them down.  Jim's going to spray them off and store them in the attic of the pole barn until we need them again.

Back in the shed, Jim wanted to add braces to either side to help support the extra weight from the scaffolding he wants to store here.

Attaching the brace to the other side...

Then he exchanged the bucket for the forks on the Bobcat and loaded up some scaffolding.

Just for a start, he loaded up 6 frames and some cross braces.

He put some runners down and then brought in the scaffolding.

At the end of the day, he did some grass cutting.
