Daughter wanted pink, kills me but it's her room for another 12 years till she gets the boot. Finally have a working bathroom down there too, should have bought Kohler stock, the wife even bought a Kohler TP holder.

Son's still working about 85 hours a week as the Township General Manager, so Wife and I decided we should work on that Parent of the Year award some more, even though we haven't got our own wood done yet. Thought we'd better get this stuff split and piled before it rotted. Trees we cut off the top corner of his property last Fall, to improve our runway approach path. Gives him a couple Winters of wood for the following two years. Guess that means he's stealing a bush cord of mine that's already dry for this Winter... that we'll probably have to deliver.. :eek:

Mowed some of the lawn. Before I remembered that my wife is out of town...then I went back inside where it's warm and lounged around....
 
Pop a couple Advil and try to keep moving and enjoy a few cocktails and back rub tonight!
 
Wasn't your fault? Right?:thumbsup: Had a few of those oopseee.
No.
Was exploring a difficult electrical pull, NOT DOING ANY WORK, just 'sposed to be 'looking' so no gloves. Checking clearances & wiggling some 0 cables & co-worker shoved the conduit over with his foot.
Finger was between conduit & gutter.
 
Back on Momma's tadooo list... paint done, trim tomorrow. Then maybe I can play with a car before heading for the basement... :rolleyes:

Good thing my wife was once a professional trim carpenter.

She gets to do her own.


...but that looks great!
 
Trim guy showed up for work... wall to ceiling transitions all done and the ugly miter gap up each ridge. I take the Wife for eye surgery in the AM (first of two, next one is in three weeks... she's currently about legally blind) and then I guess I'll get onto door casing and baseboard. Then maybe.. maybe a car for a day or three..

Well, i finally went over to Harbor Freight, and bought myself a bench top, drill press.
Been meaning to buy, for awhile.
