Finishing up with a bang!

Tuesday:

Today Dave and I set our sights on finally finishing the grand stands! Every time we thought we were close to finishing, we would always find three or four more things we wanted to change (generally none of the changes were to big, just shortening one 2x4 here, adding another set of supports, and other small tasks, but these small tasks end up taking a lot of time when there are 3 or more of them to do). So, Dave and I arrived early, and set out on finishing the stands. Luckily we had all of our materials that were needed, had a reasonable list of things that needed to be finished, and we were ready to go! Everything went according to plan and we finished the stands without complications...except for the nail gun! Dave had forgotten his nice nail gun which had a backing piece that lowered the volume of the nail gun, so we had to use his "less nice" nail gun, which does not have the silencer attached, and is louder than anything i had ever heard before! After about the 50th nail in the span of 20 minutes neither Dave, nor I could hear anything, and even now as I'm sitting here typing this my ears are still ringing. Hopefully this will eventually go away...
