Mom and I headed out this morning to do a Home Depot pickup and grocery errands. Check out the license plate on the car we saw in a parking lot! I'm a bit jealous that someone else has this plate!
Jim had a haircut appointment this morning and then used this opportunity to be able to shut off the water and see if he could fix the outdoor hydrant up on the hill. He first had to take off the cap and handle...
Jim was hoping that this rod would come out easily, but of course it didn't. It's about 6' long - he eventually got it out.
The next step was to try and get the broken end of the clevis rod off - it's threaded onto the rod and had totally corroded...
Jim finally got it off and the pretty new stainless steel one attached...
He was able to get the lawn hydrant working so that's great news!
He next headed out to the lean to to work on more finishing details - he made some blocking pieces first...
He attached one block between each span...
Then putting up the trim board...
Finishing up the trim on the skirt...
Random picture - Jim was up on the ladder and dropped a screw. It landed exactly on the edge and stuck into the board straight up and down! He could probably never repeat that in a million tries!
The new headers Jim ordered for the 4Runner finally came in - it's been months! So working on the car is going to be another project for him...
Jim did some grass cutting at the end of the day and found this beautiful little leaf - a sign of fall?
