It was nice out on Tuesday, so I got the car cleaned out. All that is left to do is vacuum it out before I sell it. I might be able to finish that up today if the rain holds off.
Last night I got bored and had the itch to actually do something, so I started working on the cover for the heat pump. It is nice being able to work in the rain after dark, even if I don't do it often. I got the framing built, though I apparently screwed up one of my calculations somewhere; the back is a little shorter than expected. It shouldn't hurt the functionality though, it just means it is a 5.5:12 pitch instead of a 6:12 pitch.
I really don't like these screws. They don't fit my square bits very well and despite being self-tapping, they are dull (hard to start) and split wood very easily. And I have gotten a lot of duds like this. The 3 inch screws are awesome, these ones (these are only 2.5") not so much.
No movement on the checklist. I briefly thought about getting the siding last night (despite having to drive halfway to Boston to get it), but got lazy and didn't. I might go tonight after vacuuming the car.

Itching to build stuff? Ohh I can really put you to work that way!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of projects did you have in mind? I will need things to do while I am down there.
DeleteWell I at least need plans and a shopping list for some stuff in the barn. :D
Deletedon't forget about the back wall to the boat shed!
ReplyDeletethat will take a weekend, and hopefully at least one weekend will be spent fishing, but that still leaves a couple of weekends and some free time in the evenings.
