    Got a question Dave.....did you rent a drywall lift to do the OSB ceiling? I plan to OSB the shop too, but I may cut it into smaller strips so I can handle it myself.

    Nope. Did it all by myself.

    Used a dead-man to help get it into place then lifted and adjusted it before I attached it with drywall screws. Some pieces required an extra dead-man or two. Some pieces were a real pain in the azz! Could've used an extra set of hands like I had for the workshop ceiling, but she was working!

    I should also add that some days I put up only 2 sheets and that was it for a few days.
    Dang back and all.

    Had a great work day...long hours, but transportation to the jobsite was worth it!

    We did have a little excitement to add to the fun of flying though. I was picked up from our towns little airport by my business associate/friend. He topped off the tanks and as we got airborne I spotted a fuel leak.We landed and tightened the fuel cap again to see if it was a simple fix.

    Took off with the same result. Fuel streaked down the wing but he decided we should fly to Sioux Falls where we were able to get it fixed.

    From there we headed to the Cheyenne Indian Reservation northwest of Pierre, South Dakota.

    I snapped this picture of the Missourri River just to show we were up in the air.:)

    Really a pretty nice day for flying, and as a wannabe pilot I asked questions all the way up and all the way back. :)

    I feel your pain!

    At the end of April, I fell down hard and broke my fall with both knees and hands before I continued all the way down to a laying position.

    When I tap the insides of my wrists lightly, I feel what can best be described as an electrical shock run from my hand all the way up my are and into my armpit. (Does this scream nerve damage?) Follow up appointment is scheduled.

    I can empathize.
    Going to finish tile at SisIL's today. Just about 30 perimeter pieces (1/2 already cut) to lay, then let the grouting begin.
    I'll be glad we'll have this done today.

    Thanks. A little turbulence in the morning and afternoon, but not too bad. Didn't last long.

    A bit wet here this morning. We went from wet to dry and now back to wet. It's been relatively cool up to yesterday when it got rather hot and humid again but back to cool this morning. I like the cool.

    Started out wet, humid, and crummy. It's about 77 and the skies are crystal clear right now. I'll take the now.
    We didn't get the grouting done today, but all the cut tiles are in. Tomorrow is finish day..........I hope.
