    Got the toe board painted, great example of a job that seems like it should only take a few minutes and turns into half the day. Also changed my wheels over on the car, tires that were on her were shot. Wish I could have sided the last wall, but I guess that's another day.

    Hopefully this is true, fast drop in lumber prices for everyone that uses it. Except :headbang: that WWW was stuck with $150K in OSB instead of $50K :headbang: on a job, thankfully the community college worked with him on it.

    Even with the crazy prices, that's a lot of wood chips!

    Went over to my folks place yesterday. They kept telling me about a "giant" tree that had fallen and missed collapsing the garage by inches. Sure enough, it was a green aspen and I got through the thing in an hour. Cut and stacked. It was a good day. The garage was never in any danger. :)
    Today, I worked a little on my stacking my own wood pile and picked up a nice sun tan (burn).
    I have some vacation days available from work so I am taking a few days off this week. I think I will go to the range at some point so I am looking forward to that.

    What brand is that? How's comfortable is it? I've seen a few that you can rearrange as wanted.

    Came from homereserve.com. It’s fairly comfortable. The four of us were squeezing on on fairly small couch. Now we can spread out.

    Someone further up the supply chain will be driving a new Porsche or fishing from a new boat!

    Cheap (free except for billboard roof) wood shed for the outdoor pit. All reclaimed or hand milled, so about $20 for roof section plus nails.

    Not how I usually build things but we will see how it holds up. I had to save on our scrounged supply pile for the real wood shed and kids clubhouse build. Whatever remains I'll reinforce this one.
