Day 3110

 I woke up at 7:30 and played games for an hour.  It was raining hard, so there wasn't anything else to do.  When the rain stopped it was up for pet stuff and breakfast.  When that was over I went outside.  The first thing that I saw was a large branch that had fallen from the Walnut tree.  It's that rotten.  I hope they have it cut down.

I started with some chores - take out the garbage and recycle, put bags in the car, get cat food and drinks from the basement, and drain the tanks.  Then I went to the shed to work.

I started by cleaning the walnut shells in the "foundation".  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but there were lots of them.  I ended up dumping a bucket and a half of shells in the treed area.  Then I set up the saw horses in the carport and started cutting 2x4's into the lengths I needed.  I put in a new saw blade first.  It worked great.  I also cut some additional shims.  When I got through cutting the 12 lengths and shims I went inside for lunch and a rest.

Eventually I returned to the shed.  I started attaching shims to the 2x4 lengths.  I attached 5.  Two of them were a pain.  I tried to connect them when I shouldn't have bothered.  I dug out the position for one of them.  It was a pain because I didn't have a small shovel.  I'll buy one tomorrow.

I began to question the shims.  I decided to cut a small demo piece of the scrap from the first sheet.  When I fit it I discovered that I didn't need shims.  I'm not sure why my earlier measurements were wrong.  I was tired and disgusted with doing a lot of unnecessary work, so I quit for the day.

I went back and watched videos.  That quickly turned into a nap.  

Ellen fixed BLT's for dinner.  After dinner was more videos until bed time.

Depending on how much time the laundry takes I should be able to get a lot accomplished tomorrow.  I can't finish until we have a couple of dry days so the floor can be painted.
