All Kidding A Side-ing
WOW!!
Lookie what I came home to!!
The roof is also finished on the lounge!
I have to get the trim around the loading door figured up and the band board up for the front porch/parking so the guys can finish up the west exterior. At the rate that the guys are moving… they might be […]
The Doors have it
OK, the cell phone, email and the internet are all coming together to still get stuff done….
I managed to get enough door hardware ordered for two doors. I just can’t justify having all that hardware sitting around and risking it getting damaged while I wait for the doors to even be framed up… much less […]
A REAL roof over my head!
WOO HOO!!
I talked to the roofing contractor… he’s got an excellent price! So… come Wednesday, whether I’m home or not… I’ll have a complete new roof on the lounge! (And it’ll be done right!)
I’ve got calls in to the door hardware vendors… hopefully I’ll actually have door hardware on order before the end of the […]
Workin’ Through the Pain
Just as with exercise, you gotta’ work through the pain… pain is relative… and relatives are a pain….
In other words, I’ve got to head back home and take care of my brother. (heheheh)
He’s actually doing quite a bit better. He’s going to be ready to go to a rehab center for a week or two, […]
C’mon Warm Weather!
I busted my butt yesterday to get as much of the OSB protected as I could before a forecast winter weather advisory hit.
I zipped over to Lowe’s and I got a front door for the studio. The mrs. suggested (ahem) that I get a matching door for the front door to the house, or one […]
Grateful for a roof over my head!
Another pseudo red letter day…
My brother is starting to make some real headway towards recovery from his surgery! He’s been moved to a step-down unit. He “passed” his modified barium swallow and is able to start eating soft foods. Hopefully within a week, he’ll be ready for moving to a rehab center for a week […]
Bangin’ It Out
I snagged a couple of pix of the lounge progress so far…
You can’t really see how much of the roof is on, but it’s about half…
Here is a shot of the 2×6 supporting the end rafter. It rests on top of the 2×10 ceiling joist ledger board and is lagged in with 2 […]
Mixed Bag of Goodies… (I Think)
My brother is making some slow progress in getting better… VERY slow. Muscular Dystrophy is surely what is slowing his healing. If anyone wants to say an extra prayer, I ain’t gonna ask you to stop.
Yesterday we made a decision I hope we won’t regret…
I got ready to put the plywood on the roof, but […]
Longer Days=More Work
After a long brutal drive in the snow, I crashed hard.
I got up this morning and actually decided I HAD to get some work done on the studio… I’m well over 3 weeks behind where I wanted to be.
I called Thomas and asked him if he could help me tomorrow, and he said he could […]
Trudging across the tundra….
Man… what a brutal week…. and it’s only Thursday!
My brother is off the ventilator!! WOO HOO! (Thanks again, for those that offered up a few extra words on his behalf!)
He’s not quite got his sea legs by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s evidently out of the woods… or so it seems.
The ride up […]
