Had some paint time with Harold the Eagle.
He started out as an unpainted stone garden statue. Didn't get any pics of him completely raw.
Best I could do...
As he sits tonight...

Yesterday afternoon I had a photo shoot with my’58 Apache. If it makes the cut it will be on a well known national parts manufacturer’s promotional calendar. Sarah the photographer shot over 800 pictures over the course of 4 hours. It was an interesting experience…

and drinking beer. Saw my new neighbor up on a tall (14'?) step ladder standing on the very top of it trying to hang a swing in a tree. Told him he could borrow my 28' extension ladder and he declined....at first. About 10 minutes later he came asking for it lol. Other than that, I washed my 'new' 96 Dakota and have been cleaning up the shop.....and drinking beer
replaced one of the furnaces , second time for that . Took 17 hrs hard at it , was supposed to be exact fit , "no way" , had to modify a bunch of stuff to make it work ., and changed the whole flue set up .

I thought drawer fronts the grain was supposed to be horizontal?

Everything was vertical grain in that kitchen.
It actually looked good and was in good shape.
...except those gate handles.
It does look cleaner and more modern now.

Yup, it does look more modern and cleaner. The vertical grain on a drawer front just doesn't do it for me especially being from a family of home builders and cabinet makers lol
A couple weeks ago I built a little 8' X 8' Shed roof off a shed at church to put the lawn tractor beneath.

Getting the drawer fronts off was fun.
They were power stapled under the formica.
Had to take them out on the back porch, turn them upside down, and carefully pry starting with a putty knife, then a "booger picker", then a wood chisel and finally a small pry bar.
Took about 25 hammer taps per drawer.
Tap too hard or too fast, the the particle board with crack or fracture.

Just standing out in the rain minding my own business and taking a piss.... and this happens!
Were you pissing into the wind?
Never park near a half dead oak I say.
Looks like a wrinkled square body.
A 1 ton?
One the bright side, looks like good firewood though...
