Let's take a ride in the time machine...

all the way back to July.

One of the photos we received from the gentleman that grew up in the house had the front porch as the back ground. Tim used this photo to make a template for the trim work under the porch (the bracketing to keep animals and such out). He got a load of pine. Drew the template on half of the pieces. Nailed two pieces together and then cut the pattern out using a band saw.


I then sanded the rough edges.


When Tim was planning this trim work he made the -ahem- less-than-bright decision to use decidely smaller than original boards, so there are more of the fancy cut outs. Which ended up making approximately 250 boards we had to cut and sand. And now prime and paint.

Wouldn't it have been cool if we could have used the time machine to bring ourselves back in time to help ourselves with all of those boards. Of course that would have caused some sort of something or other in the time-space-continuum causing a collapse of something. Yeah. Something like that.
