Awake: 6:12am Temp 55 sleep 6+35 mid afternoon rain overnight @ Nicktown.
Our KK meeting this morning was very busy & active; I didn't know this was going to be, otherwise I would have saved my show & tell for another day.
Anyway, I introduced my miniature out-house building. I think most of the members enjoyed seeing it.
Back in my workshop, my workbench is getting very cluttered & I still have many boxes to open.
Simon, the Bassett on-the-job boss, was in & out today; but Mike the Mason, & Sky the helper, are slowly moving along.
On the backside of our house, here is Bob trying to maneuver a heavy truss with some help on the other end.
And here is Bernie filling a pier with sand & gravel & then cement.
Shortly after noon time, Kathy wanted my help on putting the bed frames together. Interestingly enough, of the (3) bed frames we have, each one of those frames were constructed differently. I admit, we had Nathan figure out our master bed frame but the other (2), we wanted to take the challenge.
I figured out this bed frame;
& Kathy figured out this bed frame.
On the south wing, here you can easily see the ledger board nailed onto the brick wall using huge screws.
Here is a section of our deck so far.
And another outside view from the ground.
After the mason & his helper left around 3:30pm, Kathy called Dave & asked if he was interested in having some more cardboard; "Yes!" was the answer & he hustled right over with his daughter.
We slid about (10) or more heavy cardboard bundles onto his truck bed & daughter Jill agreed to hold down the cardboard for the short ride back to their home.
Dave was driving carefully away from our house;
when Jill yelled to stop;
All you could see of her were her feet & hands so both Ron & I started running to the rescue.
. ..and here we are trying to get her balanced again.
We haven't heard any more about the cardboard tossing series...yet.
Dinner: Salmon, rice, & sauteed spinach with red onion.
Lights out: 11:34pm.
