Shed Progress

There are lots of things going on around here lately.  Bill has gotten his work bench built in the shed.  Looks pretty sturdy doesn't it?  Uncle Tim had the idea to put it out away from the wall so that they can work on both sides of it if they need to.  Good idea!  In the picture, you can see Bill under the bench.  He's putting in more electrical outlets on the bench.

He got his green vice installed that he already had.

This heavy duty one (below) he bought on EBay.  He and the seller had to find a way to ship something this big and heavy.  Leave it to UPS to drop it evidently and a piece broke off of it so Bill has ordered a new base for it.  He has not had good luck ordering things lately.  A saw he ordered came broken twice before getting one that was okay.

You can see where the piece broke off.

He got this bolt bin at an auction and had me use our label maker to label the sections.

This week he replaced all 109 sweeps on the field cultivator which has to be done every year before planting season.  They cost $7.95 each.   Sometimes one will get too worn and need to be replaced during the season.  You can see in the second picture how worn the one is next to the new black one.  He said he would keep a few of the better ones from the pile of old ones, but the rest will go in a scrap iron pile.

It's 65 degrees and very windy today.  The sun has finally come out.  Our first really warm day.

This afternoon I got a project done that I've been talking about doing for a month - got the garage freezer defrosted.  Glad to have this blog post done now too.  Now on to cleaning a few filthy windows and then tea party invitations!
