15th February 2024
The snow returned. Waking up to a shroud of white was a bit depressing, I had plans to get the saw out to cut some timber.
There are three projects that needed bits making, so getting the saw out was crucial to getting them started.
Boy it was cold outside, everything I touched was metal and that is not respectful of my skin.
Eventually I found some gloves, but even those weren’t much help. I managed to do the cutting in record time, I couldn’t wait to get the door closed and switch on the heater.
Straight away I started working with my newly cut timber.
First were two door frames that I salvaged from some old organ panels we acquired back in the summer. I broke these down and these were perfect for the doors on a cabinet.
Before long everything was glued and clamped up, a good start. I then went on to finish scraping the tall Jackson Pollock.
Kelli put the finishing touches to the repainted dresser, and even managed to back a loaf of bread.
By the evening a lot of the snow had gone, leaving behind the wet pools of slush. With all these various and dramatic changes in temperature it’s not surprising that the roads suffer so badly. I sure tarmac is a bit more forgiving than concrete, but the potholes are taking over the state.
