Man, you're going right at the sheet rockin work. Great stuff Dave. You're obviously feelin' like you're 29 again...
Right about now, I'm not. Earlier today, I felt great. It's a small 13x20 vaulted ceiling room, but we also pulled the drywall in the original entry/stove room (10x10'), and the very small utility/laundry room (4x5'). Gotta go work on the ceilings tomorrow, then hit the woods if the rain isn't too bad. After about 2-3 hours, I need to get out and change the scenery.
All that overhead stuff is hard work. Save enough steam to pull one of those 16' logs under each arm, outa the woods later.
Ooooh yeah, I could hold onto them out the window with my left arm. I really appreciate all the great ideas you come up with. Very gooder. What could go wrong.
Too much rain today, so no woods work. Did get a 2nd coat on some joints, and finished all the corners in the small utility room. Hope to get work done on the ceiling tomorrow. That's going to be fun.
Got the thermostat changed in the Jeep. Had a local guy do it since I'd have to do it in the driveway...in the rain, and that wasn't happenin'. I know, shoot me. Anyway, running cooler now, so I'm happy. No muddin' today (Just a little low on energy today), but the rain stopped AFTER I had the T-stat done, so I split a few more rounds of the Spruce, and started stacking it. Didn't get very far before the rain came back. This rain can just stop any old time now. Glad it's not snow, or I wouldn't get very far out the door. Anyway, back to muddin' tomorrow, and as I said earlier, if no rain I may get in the woods again. Plans subject to change.......gotta' be adaptable.
Hay ,you can't always do every thing yourself , and ya don't need a cracked head or block or something Well ya got a little something between the rain I had to clean a bunch of the wet leaves of the truck like snow , wet n stuck wouldn't blow off . Ya got more done than I did , went to the Doctor got meds for strep throat, so I been eating pop siècles, chicken soup and sleeping
Yeah HDR, don't let that hang around too long. I hope you feel better pretty soon. I got strep a lot when I was a kid. Are you getting all this rain too? I feel pretty good when I can get something done every day, even if it isn't much. Progress. Had to add a little coolant this morning, and I ran it until it warmed. It's cooling again now, and I'll check it again before I go anywhere. Next up is an oil & filter change, but it won't stop raining.
Thanks guys . I'm hoping the antibiotics work fast . I had strep throat about 30 years ago but I don't remember it being this bad , this sucks !!! Yep Dave rain,rain,rain, I was thinking maybe all the leaves will float away so I don't have to pick em all up , but I guess not their still there
I think the rain is due to stop in a couple days. A little wind last night made a bunch more leaves drop.
Well, I did it again. Got to my SIL's today for a couple hours and got a decent load of two down, and barkless Oak. Grabbed a few rounds of Maple I bucked up the last time I was there too. Came out of the woods and did the front ceiling seams and the peak in the great room. Had to call it a day. Started raining just as I was leaving. Going back tomorrow....maybe more wood too.
This one is the dryer of the 2. This is one of the standing dead. Here's the other. Those will be my next acquisitions. Notice the red paint. It was meant to be cut....
Finally, here's the small load. I think about 60 Oak rounds, and 8 Maple. Jeep wasn't full this time.
Leaves covering the floor there in the woods is always nice. Looks like you got plenty of em too. Got a few rounds headin' back with the Jeep...
