Today could be measured in metal, lots and lots of metal and perhaps a little acrylic too.

So I got the task of putting the acrylic up in the East side door to showcase the framing of the walls and the insulation that will be in there, since I have worked on a lot of the windows.  It all started will an aluminum L- shaped piece that was 6’ long.  I had figured out that we would need 24 pieces that could brace the acrylic.  I marked out all of my measurements of 3” apiece and I would just cut in the middle of the mark so that each piece was roughly about the same size.  The grinder and I were not friends it seems, I did end up getting all of my pieces cut but they were all jagged and parts were kind of melted by the grinder.  The next solution was to find somewhat to even out the sides; well this brings me to the file.  I filed 24 aluminum pieces down to make sure they were even on the ends, this took all day and during this duration of time I got a slight sunburn on my shoulders but each piece got done and looked good.  As, Nic and I were putting up the acrylic we noticed that parts were starting to bow out so we ended up using more on braces then I originally intended, to make sure that it was flush on all sides.  At the end of the task, the door way looks great, but the upper window needs a little more security, I guess we will just have to wait to see if tomorrow brings more aluminum or not.
