Day Two



Sealing the spine today, sand and paint tomorrow.
Lots of miscellaneous details to look into today. Shopped for materials, loaded the SUV roof rack with 12 foot redwood 2x6s. Took it easy driving home from Lowe's, strapped together like the Beverly Hillbillies.
We're building the pedestals for the trellis project (above) out of 6 by 6 material, which is a challenge of course when your saw cuts only 3 inches deep. We ripped a half dozen redwood 6 inch boards into 3 inchers. Should make good headway tomorrow. If it gets too hot again, we'll case the new window in the kitchenette and enjoy the air conditioning.
It cools off in the evenings and the mornings are choice, but midday can be brutal in the direct sun, so we find a shady project.
