    image.jpg This is before after will come later today! The stuff on the shelves all goes to the shed except tool related items all the lawn stuff to the shed the snowblower stayed though. All my scrap metal and lumber goes to the shelf. On he bottom will be the plywood where the mowers are and the shelves hold the scrap I hope!

    Funny thing I pulled the snowblower cord to fire it up when it was -28F wind chills and the cord snapped! It didn't tear it literally snapped. Good thing I have electric start too which still took it a while in the cold.

    Pete I guess this is my what if moment, back in November bought a new toilet for the powder we lived in this house for 22 yrs time to start replacing things. Pull off the old one floor flange is rusted to chit :eek: . My honey and I had been thinking about doing a make over of the powder room we just pushed up the time table. Long story short replaced vanity / sink top, new hardwood floor, wall paper & paint ...... about 99% done now just waiting for a shelf and some pic's she order .here's a few pic's of the process, because you know we like pic's:D

    I have those moments al the time Pete.
    I've found that if ignored long enough, you don't expend as much energy as you would by actually doing them.:rofl: :lol:
    No really, I have a bunch of stuff I really want to work on. Just don't have enough.....money, time, or energy all in the same time frame.

    What was the actual temp Pete? Only living things are affected by wind chill factor.. Lemme guess your shelves are made from pallets right? :thumbs:

    Yeah, or the water pipe that got hit by a continuous blast of frigid air, then split open like a watermelon thrown from the 3rd floor of a dingy tenement building, spilling it's contents like a gutted pig.
    Was that a little over the top?
    Sorry.:rofl: :lol:

    Still upper 50's here! Crazy weather as usual.. While the wind helps the cold penetrate objects they only feel the actual temps.. People and animals feel wind chill.. Quickly installed my weather station 5 in 1 sensor today we have gotten about 1-1/2" or rain so far along with thunder and lightning! Still pouring here with more T-storms headed this way!
