    Went back out and dug a path to one of the 'ugly' bins I started last fall. Of course the pup had to check it out.

    Thank you, Sir. I had already saved the pics of your wood shed/ racks. Nicely done!

    The "regs" are a little vague. I try to fly under the radar and mission accomplished. With that said, I have been using a less permanent looking arrangement for the last 30 years. Basically a non-permanent roof. I am going to shield my wood racks from view behind lattice and stockade fences.

    I need my left need done. I had it repaired in 1999 and it last over 25 years.
    Always get the the extended warranty for those replacement hinges! :D

    It felt good to get out there and get some done though, didn't it! I was involved in a study by the VA regarding the mental impacts of not being able to work like when we were younger. It's hard to adjust the brain to accept declining physical abilities. The term "I can't" was never in my vocabulary. It is now, but more in the sense of, I can't do it all at once. I have also stopped trying to calculate how long something will take to do. It takes till it's done. For me at least, it was a hard concept to grasp. I also try to break projects into chunks, to help manage my limitations.
