Basement Beautification – Day 3

A slow start yesterday, after discovering that the table saw was mis-aligned. The blade was perfectly square to the table when it was vertical, but when it was tilted to 45 degrees (to cut the ends of the ceiling boards) one end of the board was a 16th of an inch longer than the other, so no two cuts matched up. I spent at least 2 hours attempting to adjust my not-very adjustable saw and got it to within a reasonable tolerance, I think.

Mid afternoon the ceiling work started up and I got a good amount finished. Hopefully get the main area done today.

Looks worse than it is. In the first shot the white plastic drawer-things are going to the church tomorrow and the plywood is getting picked up by some happy FreeCycler as soon as they get here. Hooray for people taking our junk away for us!
