Awake: 6:56am Temp 58 sleep 7+22 cloudy -- sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
After the KK meeting, K & I went back to our house & noticed that the Bassett guys are down to (1) mason & a helper; it's slow but they do a nice job. On the other side of our house, the Zernick guys are noisy & very active. Here you can see some of the fascia & soffit if you look close.
What's slowing these guys down is the fact that they have to saw & chisel about 4" off of the brick from the "soldier" pattern due to a blooper by the masons who installed it too low. The extra 4" of space is needed to fasten the ledger board to the brick wall, upon which will sit the deck trusses.
Back in my workshop, I took apart the box heater that we've used for a few yrs. The motor was noisy & the power was low; it was a great heater so I'm hoping to revive it.
Kathy joined me in my workshop & wanted to open some of the BIG boxes; among many other things, she discovered: Zack's Castle from High School.
Do you still want this treasure Zack?
I opened (4) more boxes this afternoon & sorted most of the items into various drawers.
Close to quitting time, the building team were getting a load of treated lumber to continue building the deck.
Kathy surprised me with our wine time & treat: chicken egg roll with sweet & sour & hot mustard sauces.
Dinner: New England clam chowder, oyster crackers, Como bread & local pears from a nearby tree.
Lights out:11:37pm. .
