A few minor jobs got done on Thursday. For instance:
- I learned how to make zippers from "scratch" with parts bought from the fabric store.
- Jeff and I managed to get rid of some of the stuff that was remaining on the old Olive Branch patio. However, we couldn't find a key to unlock the chains on the benches, and I broke two sets of wire-cutters trying to cut through the chains, so we gave up on that project for the day.
- I went to Kent and bought some neat stuff, including a bar stool, and a heavy-duty shelving rack.
- I put another coat of black paint on the tables.
Most importantly, I cleaned up the tools. I had about 15 milk crates full of random tools lying around on the floor in the front of the restaurant, and now that the minor maintenance work is almost complete, I felt like it was safe to clean up. I spent about four hours sorting tools and parts into some very neatly organized crates, and set up a tool section in the storage room in the back of the restaurant.
