8.18.2023

 I headed out this morning to return our leftover kitchen tile to Home Depot.  Both Home Depot and Lowe's have very short return policies, which makes it hard when you buy things in advance like we do.  But we got store credit for them, so that's good.  I did some other grocery errands while I was out.

Jim had gotten the tile on the front wall sealed this morning; we have to wait a couple days and then we'll be able to grout when it's a rainy day.

There was a pop up shower late morning, but it was gorgeous all afternoon, so Jim took tools and equipment up to the pavilion.  He finished the diagonal cut on the brace pocket and then got his jig set up and started scoring the last two mortise pockets on the beams...


Chiseling...


Boring...


Testing - perfect!


Last two pockets done! 


Jim got all his tools and equipment put away and then we sticked the pile of timber being stored in the auto bay to allow it to air dry better. 



High 71.8/Low 61.1 - beautiful!
