Summary: Not much accomplished toward finishing touches on the house and shop. I installed the garage door opener switches, and moved more tools and materials from dad’s garage to mine. Spent time this week helping family and friends and working on my collection of cars and trucks. With all of our experience moving – seemed natural to volunteer helping with a move being made by Casey, our niece. Not a large household to relocate, and thankfully her new apartment was on the 2nd story and not the 3rd. I followed that physical day by pouring and placing concrete on Friday. Kermit (the guy who worked full time for me with excavation and foundation tasks on our project) recently broke ground on a house that will become his residence. In a casual conversation, told me he had ordered concrete to pour footers on Friday. Carefully chose my words and asked asked if he – wanted – any help. To say Kermit is a hard working dude is an under statement, and I knew he would tell me he didn’t need any help. He said if I wanted to help – he wouldn’t turn me away. It’s been 15 months since he and I poured the footers for our project. When we were done with Kermit’s footers, sitting under a shade tree, exhausted; I said we should consider having future concrete projects contracted by younger men. This week’s picture is the inside of my shop. Needless to say; still lots of household belongings to unpack. Now that I have 5 cars in the 5 parking spots, I am concentrating on the work shop area of my space for metal and wood working. Having the shop more functional, will make projects like the built-in pantry – easier to complete and more fun at the same time.
