Used a second can of wasp and hornet insecticide on the yellow jacket nest at crack of dawn. Hard to tell if the spraying had any effect as fall fell overnight… and the low temperatures may have discouraged flying insect activity. Zook and I cut and hung all of the 2 x 4 joists between the shed beams. Our right arms may never work again – six nails per joist hanger, two joist hangers per joist, 40 joists in all… that’s a lot of pounding into very tough red oak. When the pounding was done and congratulatory pictures taken, drove Zook up to South Burlington where we had an early dinner with Alverta before Zook caught a flight back to Virginia.
