2.23.2025

The days get away from me lately and I've been remiss on updating the blog over the last couple of days.

On Friday, Jim got the other side of the cabinet pieces primed...


Then he continued working on trying to make the wood for the door straight...


Preparing to glue...


Lots of clamps to hopefully hold it straight while gluing...


Speaking of doors, Jim had originally drawn up the door design we used in the Ohio house as well as our interior doors here in an old version of AutoCad that no longer works.  He spent a good bit of time trying to incorporate it into his Rhino software so that he would have all the measurements and could then draw it in 3D as opposed to 2D.  

On Saturday, Jim had to spend time working on the driveway outside the garage doors.  It was pretty much a mountain of ice from the fallen snow from the roof and then the rain we had last weekend.  He had to chip at it enough so that he could use the Bobcat to help clear it.  Right now, much of that area is a skating rink.  We're due for a little warm up this week, so we're a little nervous as to how all that will affect the driveway.

Jim took down the light sconce in the hallway.  The switch operates both this light and a light when you first walk in the door, but lots of times we don't want the sconce on.  So Jim bought a push button switch so that we could turn it on/off when we want it..


Success!


I got new cabinet paint after I visited with Mom on Friday, so today Jim got ready to paint.  Lots of sanding...


Starting to paint...


First side all painted...


While this paint gun does a fabulous job and it only takes a few minutes to get all this painted, Jim has to spend the next 1-1/2 hours doing a thorough cleaning of the gun.
