doors and windows

Helped at the fall work party at the Carr Astronomical Observatory.

I was concerned about the storm window install and encouraged Tony to guide and monitor, especially at the beginning. Sadly, there was something wrong with the new screws...

Saturday we did the generator maintenance. I coached Katrina and Bailey through the oil change and air filter inspection. At first, it looked like the Fram oil filter was not going to fit; it was perfect. I was very happy about that. We activated the battery blanket.

I repaired the ramp. Our plan to use carriage bolts was scuttled once I inspected the problem. Was able to build a very strong truss to correct for the snapped screws.

Bailey and I built the new bedside table/dresser. Entertaining.

Saturday night and Sunday morning I helped on the new screen doors. In particular, I mounted the dual dampeners and the handle hardware. Big job, those doors. But they'll have a big payoff. Winter and summer.


"Before starting this step, complete the next step." Uh huh.

The rest of the crew accomplished a great number of other tasks, small and large.
