I’m looking at the calendar, and realize: I’m a loser when it comes to posting a timely monthly summary – which should happen when the date rolls to the start of the new month ! No lame excuses…. I’m late. Again. Sorry about that. Gonna try to surpise everyone with a June summary –
May will be remembered as the month when I “woke up” and decided the effort to complete this construction project is overdue (kind of like my ability to post a timely monthly update…) I’ve been spending a lot more time in the shop, getting moved in and sorting through all of the treasure removed from the storage unit. Definite progress made. As for the storage unit inventory, nothing will be completed in the shop until I have a lawn equipment shed built. Deliberate time was spent in May to create blueprints, and a specific location for the proposed shed. I had my favorite excavator here for a visit a couple weeks ago, to see if my plan has merit. Kenny liked the plan and I am on his schedule for some simple leveling of the shed site. Back at the shop, I completed a custom installation for my radial arm saw. Turned out as well as I hoped, and will serve me well as I begin to construct a proper workbench. We also need to address landscaping at the house entry/front porch. Progress made on that effort as well. Should have more to report at the end of the month. Finally, I had to rent a large drain auger in May. We were experiencing a downpour of unrelenting rain. I went outside (with an umbrella, duh…) to see how the property drains rain away from the house. To my surprise – one of the downspouts was spewing water up and out from the buried drain tile. Next day – pulled the downspout away from the drain tile to find it was hopelessly clogged with tree debris ! After an exhaustive effort with the industrial drain auger, got it freed up. Installed gutter guards over the next couple weeks, to prevent that from happening again ! Email any questions or comments – good or bad.
