Too hot

Six foot wide wall accommodates microwave, dish cabinet, window.
The sink will be in front of the window, next to the dishwasher. Drawer unit on far left.
The cabinet on the left is bumped out to accommodate the microwave and still make the cabinet
accessible. Fridge and pantry are on opposite wall.
It was definitely too hot to work on the trellis project today. We finished the pedestals and started work on the fence.
It was in the 90s and there were two outdoor parties in the neighborhood: a shower under a tent and a birthday party. (But it's a dry heat.) This evening it will cool off and we'll paint the spine of the trellis. It will be easier to do it now, before the lattice is applied.
Meanwhile, Stan spent the day indoors in the air conditioning. He trimmed out a door and a window and hung a couple of kitchen cabinets. Seems like most of the time was spent trying to figure out how to "snap" the soft closing hardware onto the hinge assembly. Finally found a YouTube video to help.
The assembled cabinets had been serving temporarily as his bedside table to keep his stuff off the floor. Now what.
Below, Severin (that's a real name) and his partner snapped some chalk lines for crown moulding in the dining and office.
