More gabions this morning. Chris Nelson and I started by adding table legs to one of the template blocks I built yesterday. The added height made the shaping the metal way easier and faster. I shaped the whole 25ft roll – 7 gabions worth – before lunch. It took all day to match that total yesterday. Chris, Lyle, and Brittany worked on stitching at various times during the day. By the end of the day, we had nine completely done, four stitched but not tied, and one yet to be stitched.

After lunch, I turned to the shelving structure. I sanded the remaining horizontal pieces, trimmed them, and then used the jigsaw to cut notches for the columns and conduit. Ty and I fastened them and then added several of the vertical pieces. There are a few pieces needed to finish the north side, but the south side shelf is completely done thanks to Brittany and Chris who attached 1x4s to the backside.

The project feels like it’s finally coming together. The completion of the shelving (albeit one side) has completely transformed the interior.
