10.29.2024

Jim and I voted for the first time in New York today!  In Ohio, they typically picked people for jury duty from registered voters, and when we were in the middle of heavy building, we didn't want to risk it.  But then Jim was picked for jury duty anyway this past year, so we went ahead and registered.  We had registered to vote online, so apparently the first time you vote, they have to approve your signature in person.  So we had to use an alternate ballot and fill out more paperwork.  But the lady that helped us was wonderful and we got there just in time before it got pretty crowded.  


Jim also had a lot of computer work to do this morning.  His previous cold formed steel rep, Mike, finally connected with him and Mike reached out to his replacement to make sure that Jim got the same discounts and service as before.  So Jim finished up his quote request and got it sent off.

After lunch, Jim got busy in the shop cutting rafters.  He had cut them to size and cut the tails yesterday; today, he marked and started cutting the birds mouth cuts.  His saw wasn't deep enough, so he tried using his Japanese saw...


Cuts all made on 10 rafters!


So he loaded those 10 on the Bobcat forks and took them up to the pavilion...


Then he brought 10 more pieces down...


Cutting them to size...


Tails cut and marking birds mouth cuts.  He decided to do 5 at a time for this batch.



High 52.2/Low 30.7
