Son-in-law Nick and son John (aka LJ) make the trip to Menards to dump $400 on them for some birch plywood. This will be used for the wall braces and L-girder bench work.

Nick's truck will deliver the wood to Mike's house. Mike will work on parts of the project at his home and then transport it to my home for installation. Mike dedicated one evening a week to installation. Monday was the chosen night, but was moved to Thursday to accommodate LJ's Boy Scouting schedule.
