Day 2523
A cloudy day here today with rain, showers & thunder showers through the day and 29. Its 23 here now.
Landon up for breakfast with us this morning. After breakfast me & Noel swept the water of the garage floor, did the final adjustments on the sill plates and tightened them down - ready to start building the rafters now. Had to wait for it to dry up before we can use the garage floor to build them. After lunch me & Ruby went into Woodstock to pick up a few things. Then watched the Blue Jays ball game and some golf. After supper I designed the rafter for the garage.

Day 2522
A mix of sun and cloud in the morning with showers & thundershowers in the afternoon here today and 31. Its 23 here now.
Landon up for breakfast with us, Damien & Payton this morning. Ruby's back still acting up. After breakfast I got back at installing the sill plate on the garage walls - got them all in place, washers & nuts on and ready to be tightened down. After lunch I had to check on our grinder pump again - it was not cutting in. Removed it, took it apart, cleaned it and when I tested it is was working - seems as if it was trouble with the electrical receptacle. Before I put it back in place I lowered & leveled the patio blocks it sits on, hooked it back up and working again. I then repaired a leaked around the 1 1/2" clean out under the trailer.

After breakfast I filled the last 3 holes in the concrete blocks with mortar - all mortar and cement work done now on the garage and ready to start the wood work. After lunch I drew up the rafter plans for the garage and made up the material list. When we finished supper me, Noel & Landon went into Woodstock and ordered the lumber & plywood for the rafters.
