Finally, a satisfyingly productive day!
This morning, I got my crochet project in the mail which required a trip to the PO. It should arrive on Monday.
After a quick lunch, it was out to the shop, but before I started in there, I got all the yard & gardening tools organized in the barn. A couple of items went from the shop to the barn which cleared some space. I have been noodling on how to organize those tools since last fall & I think what I set up will work.
Back to the shop & the giant set of shelves project. It is 6.5 feet long & the shelves are 2 feet wide. The height is 8 feet. I thought I would need help with the first 2 side rails, but I managed to get them on & then the 2 end pieces stood on their own. I am missing bolts & some ‘tabs’ that make sure the side rails never come off so I rummaged through what I have & found some bolts that worked. The bolts were a pain to install, but those side rails are not coming off. Of course, the shelves took longer than expected, all afternoon. Tomorrow, I’ll get the wire shelving out of the basement & on the frame & that will be checked off the ‘to do’ list.
About the weather - it has not been as advertised. The last 2 days have been cloudy so temps didn’t get to 60. Today was downright chilly & it rained this afternoon. I came in around 6 pm & it was 38°. The shop is not heated, but there’s no wind of course, so it’s somewhat warmer than outside; nevertheless, I was quite chilled when I came in. Tomorrow should start with showers, then sun in the afternoon & “warming fast”, high mid-60’s. I’ll believe it when I see it!
Morning! I am starting to have some productive days as well. I am sure your crochet project will bring much comfort.
I have some industrial type wide shelving myself which I have been working on clearing out. “Way too much stuff” had been morphing into “too much stuff”. Hopefully by spring just the “right stuff”. Always inspiring to hear about all your progress.
More progress! :)
We dodged a snowball, weather-wise. They were predicting 8” overnight for us and all we got was a dusting! YAY! Beau does NOT have to go help plow today, so he gets a goof-off day. This week he has been doing some chainsaw and skid steer work for others, and has started harvesting the Black Walnut trees he’s going to sell now that prices have rebounded.
Fish Fry tonight with Beau’s brother and his wife. Really fun people, so I’m looking forward to that. PLUS - I don’t have to cook tonight AND there will be leftovers for Fish Tacos. Life Is Good! :)
