It was an outlook kind of day. But before launching back into that project,
figured I’d finish putting the fascia on the cupola. Grabbed a few Cortex® screws from
an open box only to discover (much too late to extract them) that they were 2¾″
vice the 2″ screws that were the length needed.
Mr. Angle Grinder to the rescue once again. Though it was horribly hot and humid, by the
end of the sweat-soaked day all the outlooks were installed on the east, south,
and west sides of the barn. Also done
was the repair to the alienated rafter on the west side that was missing a
significant chunk. Had to get creative
in putting up “staging” to reach the outlooks on the north end of the west
side… but that’s why we have a tractor / forklift.
