Some may know me from posts I have made in the forum in Vintage Tools, and possibly from some comments in free parking. Since I work out of what used to be a tack shed I call my repair business Tack Shed repairs. There isn’t room to swing a cat in there. Never actually swung a cat in there to prove it, but there is not quite room in there to swing one...(swing a cat doesn’t refer to rotating felines, but a type of whip known as a ‘cat of nine tails’). The shop is quite small. Anything bigger than a very small motorcycle , or a small Honda generator takes over the space very quickly. I have permission from swmbo to make it bigger because she can see I fix things. Probably not well liked on the forums and that is certainly my fault. A weirdo. Rather than blather on about my bull on there I will put this here. The build begins very humbly with taking down a shed at the vacation rental house hereafter referred to as the River House. I came on this scene about 18 months ago when I was hired to be a fixit guy for a few hours. Now all the problems a ranch and three houses can throw at me are mine...and I’m supposed to be making money fixing machines for customers in my spare time...YeeHaw!IMG_0521.JPGIMG_0523.JPGIMG_0466.jpg. After painting the shed and making the pad more level it will be just great I’m sure [emoji849][emoji85] I should thank mr. Huston for shortening my badly chosen name to Still. I like it.
Must remember to ask the moderator (s) to allow me to change it. So much to do right now with the animals and such... and as soon as it gets above freezing a few days the broken pipes will be next. A waiting list of customer repair after that. Happy Happy! If I was alone I would be in very very bad times. If she didn’t have me here she would be in very very bad times, as it is now we are both in fairly-bad-to-middlin’ times, which is good on average.

The shed was ugly and unused and in the way at the River House, here it will shelter an air compressor and some rabbit cages that we use when we take her rabbits on the road for shows. She has bred show rabbits for decades and they are now part of my life as well...for better or for worse...we’re getting married today...guess I should get some sleep...

Keeping the animals alive has been a bit of a task with the power outages and below freezing weather for several days. We have moved into the rv camper for a couple days because it has propane heat. Bringing the baby rabbits in here to keep them warm and then taking them back out to get fed, repeat...baby goats are okay so far. Pics later, won’t load now.
