    strangely enough at almost 40 yrs old I decided i need to exercise a bit and decided roller blades would be easy on my knees and feet so for the last couple months i have been shuffling around in there trying to learn how to roller blade. sadly i blessed with some of the tiniest and weakest ankles known to mankind so i can only do about 10 minutes at a time.

    not sure but all the lumber is being delivered thursday to build shelves, chain bench, and shipping bench. hopefully we can get the small electrical bits finished up this weekend as well as the shelves. if so that leaves just a bunch of small knick knack projects plus the one big one.....getting electric turned on. guessing another month and hopefully we will be starting the move

    1 coat of primer and 2 coats of clear. the clear is a 2 part water based with ceramic in it so 2 coats of it should be plenty.

    Just asked cause I used water based Varthane stuff and it's not as scratch resistent as I had hoped. But it's just in the finish , Cause I used like 7 coats. I'm thinking it said it had ceramic?

    lumber came for the shelves today. we had it delivered to the shop and loaded it on my little trailer that way we can carry it in the back door instead of the side door which means we wont have to carry it across the new floor. poor poor trailer, thankfully its only a short 1/2 mile trip out to the new building. 60 sheets of OSB and 130 2x4s on the poor little 3500lb trailer.
