96 degrees out, drip, drip
but the blades sharpened great using a Dewalt hand grinder and some elbow grease.
right near us was the obvious answer to our backup/jackstand/last resort needs, and they rolled right up to the spot
like they were out for a walk.

whole thing was fifteen minutes from start of tying up to dropping it down. And then fifteen minutes of exasperation and sweaty despair
when the miserable pto hitch spline refused to line up. I finally had to do what worked last time, get down on my back under the whole thing and work from below.
it's all lubed...they really need to design a better mousetrap here. so half the time to sharpen the blades and half the time fighting with the pto slide connection that requires at least three hands to hold the retaining ring in while keeping level and providing substantial forward motion. It didn't cooperate today; other days it slides right on.

the straps are rated for double the entire mower's weight so wasn't concerned, but the round wood chocks were worth taking a picture of.
see, it did happen...

Well, table is in service for the 4th, but when I have time, I'll likely sand and do another coat or two of urethane.
For those interested, table is about 96x89, 113 at diagonal.
Lazy Susan is a tad small, but only paid $50 for the glass so works for now.
Like the new chairs, good match

I 'd guess a chair at each corner and 16 would still be comfy.

Drew, are you ready for your 1st hurricane at your new place? I know you aren't in it yet.

Drew, are you ready for your 1st hurricane at your new place? I know you aren't in it yet.

sure going to find out. There are no large trees near the house; that's a plus, and one of the first things I'm doing is putting in a backup gen.
the siding on the house is pretty tired, not sure how it would last. I'm probably eight miles north of the Pamlico, and intentionally not in a flood plain, so
I think the water risk isn't bad. No basement in this house; need to find a safe hidey hole. No question, I will be in the path of the typical NorEaster, but then I always have been, so....

8 for dinner last night, will be 10 tonight, Friday it should be full LOL

Drew, I think if there was much vulnerability you would have seen evidence of past storms.
