Well, been productive. Finished out the structure on the gazebo but forgot to take a pic, then did a few other odds and ends to finish out an early day because it’s like 100* heat index and like 90% humidity today. Came home, mowed my yard and the one across the street, starting cleaning out my shop tent (carport tent that we threw up quick and cheap when we first got here) from where we had gotten the ikea bed (lots of cardboard and no room for it in trash can) and where another plastic shelving unit had failed (not meant for use outdoors lol). My solid rubber tires for my handtrucks had come in, so I slapped them on real quick. Noticed earlier this week the wheels on my 10 gallon air compressor had started failing, so I took two of the best pneumatic tires from the Handtruck to put on it…which turned into a whole fabrication job…had to make new axles for the wheels, really needed some 5/8 bar stock but had some 1/2” pipes from the old headrests from the backseats in the pathfinder, so I made that work and damned if it don’t work a treat. From there I remembered that Evan had given a 4 piece set of big casters like 3 years ago, and I was struggling to get my little homemade welding cart to cooperate in the yard and shop tent (just laid some rubber mats for a floor, no leveling or anything, it was a very quick job this shop tent lol) so I swapped those out. Finished the day with some minor cleaning up I’d been putting off.

Tomorrow, we test the inflatable birth tub for my wife and have the midwife here for a little pre-planning, and then I’m going to build a shelving unit to go across the back wall, built to account for the difference in the ground so the shelves themselves will be level. Gonna be a great time lol
