Oct. 10th - Sawing, Sawing, Sawing

It snowed about 2" of wet, heavy snow last night and the weight of the snow has collapsed our tent over the garage. I crawl up on the decking which is like walking on grease to sweep the snow off the platform.

Greenbay and I have spent most of the entire day straight lining and ripping down all the 1 x oak material I have had stacked out front. I like his system, much more efficient than my way and simple. We have a straight board that we tack with a brad nailer to the edge of each board and then run through the table saw to get one edge of the board straight. We have several hundred 1 x boards to cut both edges and with a pile of sawdust over 2' high we are glad when the job is finished.

We have made headway in organizing material around the alley. Meanwhile Pat who is nimble and quick on the roof has another large section of the roof decking nailed down and covered with tar paper. We should have 1/2 the decking on by tommorrow night as long as the weather holds.
