Construction is as far as I intend to take it at this time. I could finish painting the existing sheeting, but I am needing a break from the construction work. I decided it was time for a new hobby, or more accurately, an old hobby. After a 30 year hiatus, I decided to dig out some model...

Thank you for the comment, I often wonder if anyone reads this, LOL The office is now complete! (WHOOHOO) Insulation is now in all the walls, R19, as well as the ceiling. Interior walls sheeted and painted in my own custom gray mix. Window sills are in. Outlet added for TV. Light added...

I began work on enclosing the office a couple weeks ago. Framing, gathering materials, and that is when it happened.... I forgot I wasn't 20 any longer and threw out my back. Ah, fun stuff. 2 weeks later and I am feeling better, still not 100%, but I hope it is a lesson learned. I got one of...

I totally hate it when folks start a build thread and leave it hanging without any updates for over a year, don't you?? Well, sometimes there are reasons, and good, bad or otherwise, I have mine. I have been quietly working for the past year and 3 months, off and on, slowly making progress. I...

It has been a while since I made an update, this well may be the last- its been 28 days since the last comment, and so, if none are made moving forward it will be the end. The Mrs. and M got back home Saturday from a mission trip to Coyote Canyon in NM. Praise the Lord, 9 souls found Jesus...

Beautiful!

This.... I love this! You have obviously taken the time to place this on your property well, and have a very important thing- VISION. Not everyone will like your vision, but that's OK, it is YOURS. Personally, I love it. I am also in Southern Indiana (Near the thriving Metropolis of Hope) and I...

No huge update here, it has been a busy few weekends. Birthday party was "smashing" as in the ceiling fan got smashed by a basketball- erg. The really irritating part is the parents of the kid that did it (accidentally) saw it happen and never even made an offer to help out. I never would take...

No games last evening for our kiddos, so got to spend some time in the ChopShop cleaning up for the festivities this weekend. Construction has been on-going for a LONG time it seems, so this was really just phase one of the cleanup! Got the cut offs and scraps hauled out. almost a full pick up...

Wife sent me this just a bit ago. Fence is between Pops and us. This little feller is just barely dry I bet! Like I said, love these little fellows! So glad the kids get to see this stuff growing up. And just for the record, I love venison, and about every other animal, but I love seeing them more.

The stairs are "OK" for a first attempt. I am glad they aren't int he house, lol. Thanks For stopping by!

One other item I will share. I love wildlife, and especially around the house. We have many deer that are in the area, and they are very safe as neither pops, nor I, nor any of the neighbors close by allow hunting. I love to hear the frogs at the neighbors pond, and the locusts, see the...

I ended up taking off last Friday for the coveted 3 day work week, LOL. Got a bit of work done in the ChopShop, but also had some work to do around the house. On the house, I found the end of the eve had rotted and fallen apart. The PO had a nice vision, all cedar soffits and eves, and...
