Business Trip

Daryl had to go to Halifax for work this last week and so Karen decided to accompany him to visit her parents. Karen and Valerie spent three days gardening, of which we have no photographic evidence.... When Daryl finished at the office, he would come to mom and dad's. We would work a bit in the yard and then have supper (when it got too dark to work). Everyone enjoyed their time together. This was the first time Daryl had met John and Val. Do any of the Herring children remember the dish-scrubby holder? (I had to take a picture of it for posterity

Garage Into Shop

Daryl has been working hard turning the garage into his new shop area. He is building a bench designed by Norm Abrams (New Yankee Workshop) and has been hanging shelves for his tools and setting all of his stuff up. Gavin has also been helping Daryl. Here, he is using the drill press to drill holes into a 2x2 to hang files on the wall. Also, here is a shot of Daryl working on his bench. It has been tricky, as the cement floor is not even (as it used to be a carport and therefore tilts away from the house) and so alterations must be made to the plans in order for the bench to be level and plumb.
