Slow progress; our son came home from Kansas on vacation, so we had to devote some time to him. Most work since kit arrival has been garage organization; labelling boxes, organizing for ease of retrieval, etc. Today, built workbench from pallet materials. Lost out on using the 2x4s on the bottom of the pallet because 3/4ths of them were ripped off due to the shipping damage. Added a lower shelf; transferred all skins from the pallet to the lower shelf for safe keeping.
