I would have MUCH rather of been there than snow blowing. Between the nice pile the ILDOT was kind enough to pile next to the vehicles and three break down/repairs to the snow blower, it only took about 4 hrs to redistribute the snow.
On an up note, I did start sizing the top for your new bench. It's going to be apr. 5' long 24" wide and 4" thick. Gotta get a gallon of glue and hope to have the top glued up today and start laying out the base.

yes they will come down one more time and finish them out maybe on the 15th before our 2pm meeting. Paul and Steve will come out one evening this week and heat treat one of the bows. We all thought the bench we have was going to fall apart yesterday but it made it through the day. It is moving about 3 inches now lol. That bench your building sounds like it will be perfect. 4 inches is stout to be sure.

Matt if you get this in time call me Paul and I could grab that glue and come help on the bench if you want.

Cleared dam and Paul and Isaac having fun on the ice.

It is -9 degrees in southeast Iowa! The high forecast for the next week is 24 degrees. Getting work done outside is very difficult. This winter has been so cold for so long that working in 15 degree weather seems like a normal temp for a work day.
