Sorry but it only comes as a package deal...No, I've been through stifling humidity before. Once was enough....a little of the heat would be nice, though. =)
Helping wife with laundry, including sheets, pillow cases, comforters, and the usual clothes, making 4 or 5 laundry loads. Her friend told her that (superstition) if you do laundry on New Years Day someone you know will die, so we have to get it all done today. I called bullsh*t on it but to no avail. When my mom was still alive she always had a lunch with hog jowl and black-eyed peas on New Years Day (Southern supersition) in order to bring you good luck in the year. My wife doesn't like black-eyed peas and called bullsh*t on THAT. When the laundry is done, I figure I'm going find and put on my clean "lucky socks", because they are SmartWool and my feet are cold.I just realized we have "what annoyed you", "what cheered you up", "what made you sad" and even "what are you listening to" threads, but not a thread that covers what's going on when members check in with the forums.
At the moment, I'm taking a break from renovating the shop on my property. It was built in 1971 for a "mom & pop" Log Truck outfit and over the years (and through several owners) languished.
So I've been in the process of cleaning up the shop, like repairing the evaporative cooler, insulating and adding drywall and most important: installing a real work bench.
This is a photo of the South-east corner of the shop as I was getting started:

And this is a current photo:

The work bench is seven feet wide on the left and eight feet wide on the right and made with 2x6 construction with 4x4 uprights. The work surface will eventually be 3/4" plywood covered with sheet metal.

So that's what I've been working on today, what are you guys up to?
Modeling, gardening, painting the house, fixing the wife's car, dodging giant meteors or what?
If those beams look "iffy", apply some PC Rot Terminator to any areas that look sketchy.Ripped up the rotted cedar planks on the deck. There is a bunch of water logged beams underneath. My plan is to keep them exposed in the hopes of them drying out before I put down new cedar planks. Unfortunately we are to be hit with snow and or rain today+. Anybody know if my thinking is sane here?
That's what I am doing.I've been trying to bring down the Xmas lights sinve the first week of January.
Every single time I've had thw opportunity, it's rained.
I may just say eff-it and leave them up until October, when the Halloween Lights go up...
You take your's down??????That's what I am doing.
Ouch!Recuperating after an Umbilical hernia operation last Friday.
