Jim had ordered our pre-winter propane tank top-off over the weekend, and the truck pulled up mid-morning...
Jim worked in the shop on making the header for the garage door...
All done!
Carrying it out to the Bobcat...
Jim finished fastening the end studs to the wood pieces...
Then did measuring and pre-drilling through the inside of the pieces, so that when the header is up, he can fasten it from the stud side...
Marking and pre-drilling on the other side...
Time for the header...
This is heavy and awkward, so Jim first put it up on the scaffolding platform...
Then he was able to set it in place...
Starting to fasten...
Once the header was fastened in place, time to put the last stud in on the front walls...
Working on the other side...
Fastening them in place at the bottom...
End-of-the-day picture - looks fabulous!
There was a brisk wind all afternoon and with temperatures just around 40°, it felt pretty cold, especially as the sun went down. But Jim got a lot accomplished and it makes coming home all the better!
