Took four of the MDO soffit boards over to Steve Ingram’s this morning so that, using his table saw, we could rip them into the two pieces that will fit either side of the soffit vents.  Shlomo, recognizing a golden opportunity when he saw it, snuck off to the lake three times while Steve and I were doing our sawyer thing.  While Shlomo was drying off in the sun back at our place, I ripped my stock of ⁵/₄ x 6 Koma^® into two equal sized pieces using ye olde portable circle saw with rip guide, convinced the whole time that I didn’t have enough linear feet for the trim for which they will be used.  Finished the sawing the last board and realized that I’d screwed up the math again ended up with way more linear feet of trim than will be needed, which is another way of saying I cut two very expensive Koma^® boards that, if whole, could have been returned to Goodro’s for a substantial credit.  The bruise on my rear end should fade away someday…  Giving up in disgust on carpentry for the nonce, turned my hand to electrical work, installing the rest of the outlets that are imbedded in the concrete walls.  Then I fabricated and installed the front, mid-span vertical support for the southern set of loft shelves, ‘cause that support will have an outlet flush to its front face.  That done, realized that I was way overdue for some quality cooling-off time in the lake, accompanied, of course, by a certain black doggie.
