Seems pretty slow around here. Maybe everyone is busy with projects like siding the garage:



or maybe building a catwalk in the 3 ft attic space to blow in more insulation:





or maybe replacing the furnace in the 4 ft crawlspace (sometimes I wish I wasn't 6 ft tall)





Or maybe, some IMPORTANT ladder work (Barth is calling to me!) Replaced the loose pop rivets on 2 ladder stanchions with st. steel thrubolts. (Only took 3 hrs, removing curtains, blinds and valance inside)



Bottom of door was loose, added corner brackets and extra pop rivets.





This leaves only the 3 u-joints and the center bearing on the driveshaft (soon!)





And of course, the largest unfinished project of all, cosmetic work.



Maybe someday I'll actually get caught up... (yeah right!)

Wishful thinking my friend - wishful thinking!

I found out every time I start a new project somehow an old one reminds me it isn't finished.

And the beat keeps going............

So I went on the roof yesterday to make sure everything looked good for a Minnesnowta winter. Made the mistake of touching the combiner box for the solar and it shattered. Woops, toucned the max air vent cover over the fantastic fan and it shattered. So I thought get the heck off the roof. Which I did. I am not going to touch the skylights nono Today I fixed the max air with a new cover the new ones are hinged to ba able to clean Click what a novel idea making something easy. made use of a waterproof electrical box from a box from Cabela's by wix. Waiting for the caulk to set up on the constrictions for the wires. Install tomorrow. Trip 2 weeks for Minnesnowta Pheasant Opener. Starting out my nephew that has gone but never armed. He's stoked but the population is down 70% Thumbs Down so I hope I can get him on Birds. Thumbs Up

That's how I noticed my ladder was loose, went up to check the AC covers, never got to those.

Pheasants all but gone in MI. I do miss the hunts in the 70's. Pheasants are great tasty birds!
