Jun. 11th, 2008 07:38 pmWe're still steadily moving forward on Faire prep. We even created a new product line this week, more info when I get pictures out of my camera. Today's completed projects were building and staining frames for the display boards that normally go into the easels so that they can hang on walls, and building a bench for the back of the shop.
Tomorrow's plan is to varnish the dichro frames and to cut flashing and tarp to build fire-resistant panels for protecting the glass-working area. It's a wood shop. If things go bad, our shop, the other shop in our building, and the next two buildings probably all go up. We're going to cover the side wall (in the direction that things normally fly) with aluminum flashing, and we're going to put a section of fire-resistant tarp down on the floor. And we're going to pack several fire extinguishers, just in case.
Today's non-faire project was cleaning out the gutters on the driveway side. The entire length of the house was full of maple seeds (half of a yard waste bag of them!), and the downspout was plugged with crud. Tomorrow I should probably look at the other two sides.
Tomorrow I need to take the lawnmower in for service. Currently the starter doesn't always engage, and the gas tank drains out through the air filter (which is the more important problem). I could fix them myself, but I don't have time, and the lawn already hasn't been mowed in a week.
