Mom had an appointment this morning in Glens Falls, just a bit north of us.  As we got out of the car, there was such a pretty rainbow in the sky!  There was no rain where we were so it was even nicer! 

Jim worked in the shop this morning, carving more purlins...

He made a jig to help with cutting the complex angles...

In the afternoon, he was up on the pavilion, installing some of those purlins!  Here he's carving a pocket in the hip rafter...

Fitting the next purlin in place...

Carving the last pocket in the hip rafter on the front side...

Then he moved around to the back side and started measuring and marking placement of the pockets on the hip rafters...

Starting to carve...

Moving over to the other side to carve the pockets.  The bottom two he has to reach from the bucket of the Bobcat...

It's that time of the year - it was chilly and then we're having an Indian Summer warm up, so all the wasps, lady bugs, and stink bugs crawled out to bask in the warmth apparently, and the house looks like something out of a horror movie...

With the doors being opened and closed a lot, the ladybugs definitely find their way inside too.  Jim used the vacuum to suck them up...
