5.3.2019 - Painting first cabinet!

I had a doctor appointment this morning (otherwise there would be a ton more pictures!) - while I was gone, Jim painted the microwave cabinet!  He first got his work space all set up - he covered the workbench and uses painting blocks to elevate the face frame.

He set the cabinet up on the sawhorses and taped plastic on the front to protect the inside...

Of course, it was a learning experience with the new gun.  It's cool how it works - the paint goes in a bag and the gun pumps the paint up, collapsing the bag as it sprays.

Face frame all painted - gorgeous!

As is the main cabinet.  I tiptoed in to see them so I wouldn't kick up any dust until they settled.  Jim is going to give them a couple of days to harden before he even thinks about putting them together.  

In the afternoon, Jim headed into the Drywall Center to talk to his rep about ordering some steel for some more shelving.  He also stopped at our insurance agent.  Both of these trips took awhile because it's like Cheers when Jim walks in!  He spent close to an hour at each place mostly talking - but it's definitely time well spent - these people are very good to us.  In fact, the insurance agent told Jim that he had been saving this special State Farm toolbox cooler for Jim because he was the perfect person for it!  

Once Jim got home, the UPS guy had delivered his parts for the chipper so he started working on that.  In order to get to the fuel pump, he had to really tear things apart.  Here the new pump is installed...
