Good Morning Everyone. Clear and 46°. The rain yesterday never made it past a few sprinkles, it's in the forecast for five of the next ten days though, including tomorrow. I dug up and moved two more volunteer sapling trees yesterday to more optimal locations, so the upcoming rain will reduce the need for me to supply them with water, maybe! Took the day off from mowing just because. I have about another hour and a half of gas left in the tank before I have to deal with that.
Looks like I will have the opportunity to plant the tomato and pepper plants today, perfect weather, partly cloudy and little to no wind later this afternoon. I attacked the entire garden with the hoe yesterday to both eliminate weeds and prepare the planting area. Surprisingly no aches this morning. I should also get the row of green beans in today, and maybe some squash mounds. Everything in the garden is 7-10 days later than I usually do it this year, mainly due to untimely rain. Picked more spinach last night for salad, to go with that grilled rib-eye steak.

Tom is having sounds good to me this morning Flo. Give me OJ instead of coffee.
Thanks for the likes and comments on the structure build yesterday;
Karl, Jerome, Guy, Mike, Sherrel, Patrick, Hughie, Phil, Tom, Chet, Curt, Bob, Chad, Ken, Garry.
Making progress on the new laser-cut structure out in the train shed. Painted walls and windows then I added the trim early while it was still wet outside.
Then I added the windows, curtains (some) and one door. Even though the windows are plastic windows, it was a pain to get all of the clear styrene glued in place. Separate pieces for the upper and lower sashes.
After assembly, I changed my mind about its orientation on the layout and removed the solid door which I will replace with a proper entry door. The side of the structure with the single door is now going to be the front instead of the loading dock side.
Structure perched on but not fastened to the foundation.
Note the notches in the tops of the walls for the "rafter tails". In this kit, they are individual pieces of stripwood instead of their more recent method of solid "forked" parts.
I plan to make a few other changes to the building that will better suit it's intended use as a retail business, more on that later.
George - Don't know about you, but I am beginning to dislike plumbing jobs. None of them are in convenient places and require me to stuff myself into a cabinet, under the house or dig a hole!
Sherrel - I saw a picture of a lady locally with 4-18 packs of TP in her cart. Give me a break! That's enough for my household for over three months. The caption indicated that it was all for her and she wasn't buying for family or friends. It's getting ridiculous out there in some places.
Curt - Really looking forward to see what you come up with as far as the layout is concerned.
Everybody have a good Sunday and keep your distance if you need to socialize.
