Plasma Cutter

So Dan rented a plasma cutter and made lots of progress cutting out rusted metal parts that he will be replacing. I neglected to take pictures this weekend while he was working and then the silly machine stopped working. He returned it this morning and the button was worn out. When they get a replacement button installed, they will call him so that he can do some more work.

Meanwhile, he is going to do more of the prep work that he decided he probably should have done before getting the plasma cutter. Experience is a phenomenal teacher--especially on a project like this.

I personally would be quite intimidated by a project like this and be unable to move forward due to the intimidation factor. Dan has small episodes of feeling overwhelmed but then is able to break down the large tasks into manageable smaller tasks and get to work. I find that truly amazing.
