I also need to cut s little relief in the counter top for the white dealio in the back that encompasses the washer water controls. It doesn't allow me to push the countertop all the way to the wall.

About 2 years. But once we bought new washer/dryer without the stands she really pushed it. That's been a year. :). I think I need to paint the sink cabinets the same gray. She now wants to do the garden and more above ground beds. Good thing I'm not wheeling on the weekends. lol

Dang; I think these women have a forum or something where they come up with this stuff. I mentioned I was trying to get the 1/4 acre lot beside us and first thing I heard was "above ground garden" and "all the stuff we can grow".

But you could build a hell of a shop in 1/4 acre. I'm thinking 60'x100'. Now's the time to build, steel is cheap ;)

If we were not looking to move in the next 3-4 years i would. I am probably just going to add a little storage building with covered parking off the side on one of the side lots.

I am pretty sure she was not talking about that kind of stuff; but I do know she has been looking into canning and what local food banks will take fresh vegetables.

Im waiting for my black berries to start producing. I love them fresh and they are great as a cobbler. My peppers did so so this year. Plan to plant a few more this year in some different spots. Okra did good at my old house so we will see how I feel in a month when its time to plant.

I have a honey do list to keep me busy all summer. Not to mention my own projects. Taco needs some love. 81 needs a lot of love. Sad part is that I have 95% of the parts just not the time.

So we need a wrench day? We still have Rob's day we need to get done once he has time to reschedule. I would not have a problem having an excuse to go down to Austin.

Maybe? I need to clear up some room in the garage. Let me sell this trailrig and then I'll see what we can do.

Thought your b-in-l bought the trail rig? If it is still on the market I could trade you some barely fucked chickens for it.

He has dibs and is waiting on his bonus. If he falls through then it will be on the market. I only like virgin chickens though. But that's on the grill.

Getting a quote on a shed for the backyard. Fuck its $$. HOA states it has to be a TuffShed style.. Ones from Home Depot won't cut it. $2900 for an 8x10!! Like 2x the amount that I was shooting for.

I think a mod day is in order. A small group of us could knock that out pretty quick. Do we need to work on a template to paint "Tuffshed" on the side?

This past weekend, I installed a few LED motion sensor Flood lights on my mom's house. Those suckers are bright and hopefully will hold up longer than the old ones that constantly burned out. I put a 2250 lumen one over a big part of the lawn about 14' off the ground, so my nieces and nephews can keep playing there when it gets dark out.

Swapped out a sink faucet and repaired a shower faucet at one of my mom's rent houses.

Also, changed out a shitton of ceiling tiles at my Wife's dental practice and worked late into the night there. I love having 30 year old insulation and rat shit fall down my shirt lol I worked from sun up to late night all weekend. I am beat!

I had to tell one of my renters that her sister's chainsaw art studio had to move and she could no longer "create" art with a chain saw on my mom's property. :)
