Heat Wave and Lumber Racks

Today was really hot. Supposedly the next 3-4 days are also going to be rather warm. It's not often Vermont has a heat wave but apparently we are going to. The weather forcast is for temps in the 90's at least until Tuesday. Hopefully, it will dry things out a bit. I'm sure that soon we will be praying for rain.

Yesterday I blew out a hydraulic hose on my backhoe so it's out of commission until I get it fixed. This morning we spent at the foodshare finishing up various little jobs. The place is really coming together. I need to get the camera there and take some pictures.

We then headed over to Waterville and worked on reorganizing the shed. We put lumber holders on the back wall which are really simple but seem to work okay. We'll see if the lumber is on the floor next time we are over there. Or if the siding has popped off. I would like to insulate the shed and use it as a shop but there are just too many other things going on which are taking precedence at the moment.

We also moved the rest of the lumber I've milled into the the shed. The long boards are under the lumber racks on the back wall, while the 13 foot, and under, boards are on the near stack. After cleaning and rearranging it almost looks like we know what we are doing.

We still have a lot more to mill before we are ready for the shed but at least it is starting to look like we have milled a significant amount.
