It was pretty much an all-day rain day.  I had errands to do in the morning, and after lunch, Jim started working on his rainy day list.

First up was fastening the toe boards on the island to the island itself.  That required taking everything inside out, including the shelves...

Jim had to take the doors off to get the bottom shelf out and be able to work...

Jim had to remove one set of hinges as well...

Bottom shelf coming out...

Then it's fastening the toe boards to the cabinet - he had put holes in the steel when he made it, so that was perfect.

All four sides fastened and now it's time to reverse all those steps.  Bottom shelf going back in...

Fastening it in place...

Middle shelf back in place...

Hinges and doors back on - this project is complete!

Next rainy day project was to change out switches in the auto bay.  When he added the programmable switch to control the outside lights, he only had almond switches, and he only had an almond switch for the gray box.  Lights off, time to switch...

Oops...he forgot that the right switch is a three-way switch, so he'll have to order one of those...

But it's looking spiffy!

 Then it was the day for deliveries - we had three kind of big deliveries that literally came within less than 10 minutes of each other, but we didn't know that and didn't want to leave the box too full, so Jim ended up making 3 trips down to the box to get everything!
