Rain Most of the Day!! What's Rain

I picked a few things for the vegie share at the post office.  Carol washed them and arranged them order.  They are in the photo below. Egg plant, Pimento peppers, and Romanian cucumbers.   Some were left over.  We are taking them to Las Vegas.

I did not get a before picture.  But the table saw was piled with junk.  To cut a board or move the fence, I would have to move junk.

I cleaned the workbench and the radial arm saw.  There is a small bench to the left of the saw which I also cleaned up and made a device to hold the hole saws.

I tied three more pepper plants to the overhead bar.

We hooked most of the overhead wires the header on both ends of house one.  The weight of the tomato plants pulled the right end of the header of its post.  I got several pipe clamps and a ladder and proceeded to pull it back into its original position.  It would not slide back on its post.  Using crowbar and I was able to lift it up to move it into position.  I wasn't able to take the crowbar out. I tried to block up the header with a half inch PVC Pipe.  It all came apart the header came towards me an knocked me off the ladder.  I was able to stem down.  A screw in the header hit my head a little to the right of my eye.  I dodged the bullet.

Finally I got it back together.  I mad 3/8 inch hole through the header and through the 2 by 4 on the outside.  I put a long bolt through the hole.  With a nut and washer I made it tight and was able to removed the clamps.

The Garage Clean-up

Carol asked me to help with sweeping the garage.  That's no big deal.  I can do that and get back the greenhouse work that I started this morning.  There is forecast of snow tonight.  I planned to brace the greenhouse so the bows would not collapse. 

This is how the garage looked before we started.  Most of the cleaning occurred on the west front wall.  The photo below shows how it looked before we started.  The back half of the garage is were the table saw is and other wood working tools.  Most stuff between the car and the window on the right ended up in the dumpster. 

This is how it looked when we stopped.  The next project is to build shelves on the west wall to store the boxes.  Those boxes contain Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decoration.  It was hard to throw away so many things.  I had hundreds of garden magazines, some of the fifty years old that I have looked at for many years.  There were a lot of church magazines that went to the dump.  When I can see them on line any time that I want to, there is not much need to save them.

We kept sweeping closer to the walls all the empty  boxes piled there started to slide off.  Many of them were broke down so they would lay flat.    We ended up removing most of the boxes.  We loaded them into the truck and took them to the dumpster a couple of miles north of town.  There was not much garbage in it.  We made three trips and it looks like we filled it up.  Before, we could not open all the way  the car doors.  Now we can get in the car with plenty of room to spare.
