Above 1200 Sq/FT New home, next chapter ....

[PugetDude]

Ho-Ho-Hope you're both on the mend, John.
Merry Christmas.

 

[RickP]

Oh man, tough time of year for the heater to break -- I hope you're able to get it fixed quickly! Our furnace started throwing trouble codes yesterday, but I'm not even trying to get someone out to look at it until next week, so I feel your pain...

Merry Christmas, and stay bundled up!

 

[Michael B.]

Happy New Year John! I hope you’re feeling better.

 

[Toolfool]

Thanks for the holiday wishes, guys. Wife and I tested Covid+. We're hunkered down until we're feeling better. Not a lot of energy to do more than what's required for the dogs.

How are you two feeling? I hope you’re both on the mend!

Hi Michael. Thanks for checking on us. Linda healed up pretty quickly. I'm still pretty congested and really low on energy (haven't even been out to the shop in weeks). Fortunately, we both tested negative, so just trying to shake this **** (having asthma seems to always make upper respiratory stuff worse and hang around longer). Hope to be back to normal soon !

 

[Michael B.]

I'm glad you two are on the road to recovery. Asthma and Covid are a nasty mix. I had asthma as a child and could not imagine having both. I hope you are back in the shop and up to your usual antics soon!

My sentiments exactly.

 

[ODIS]

Are you back at it yet? Hope so! If not, get well Soon!

 

[Toolfool]

Thanks guys. After a few weeks of trying to regain my strength, it seems the **** in my chest and lungs never really cleared up and I've been down again for over a week. Doc says take OTC meds, but they don't seem to be helping. Even my albuterol doesn't help. I appreciate you checking in.

Please don't overdo it. Rest, good food, positive mental attitude, YouTube on self-treatment...... You will kick this bug out. We are all pulling for you!

 

[Toolfool]

Thank you, Odis. Our humidity levels here have been consistently over 90%. Every time I take the dogs out it feels like my condition takes a step backwards.

 

[RivennHewn]

Maybe get a second opinion?

Sorry to hear ya haven’t kicked this yet.

 

[shortykorte]

Inside the shop feels good. Also temps in the 30’s tonight. Help be cut up my pines, I’ll help you with the floor.

 

[Toolfool]

I've been pushing pretty hard to make some progress on the shop. Maybe pushed too hard yesterday, but got 3 coats of sealer on the garage floor. The repetitive motion with a roller has left me sore and stiff today. Can't believe how out of shape I am.

 

[ODIS]

Looking good, Sir!

 

[shortykorte]

I like the designated bays.
Thankfully your services won’t be needed for two more months. Plenty of time to rest.

I appreciate it.

 

[Michael B.]

I’m glad to see you’re back at it John. The floor looks great! You should probably pace your self, it’s going to be a long year ;-)

 

[RivennHewn]

There are no vacuums in nature. An empty space will fill it’s self.

Just sit back and watch it happen

 

[rmack898]

There are no vacuums in nature.

Except when Shorty visits your shop.

 

[bugnut]

That floor is sweet!

 

[shortykorte]

Except when Shorty visits your shop.

Hey I did help John fill the void a little bit Saturday.

Gezzis John. Ya'd think after all that effort you'd at least buy a box that wouldn't rust all over your new floor.

Tight budget.

 

[Toolfool]

Got two coats of paint on the last row of plywood for the garage today. Progress.
Hope to get it all installed tomorrow. Then finish the electrical in those walls.

 

[Toolfool]

Started to move some things into the garage. Got sidetracked for a few days as our rottweiler, Tiny, was showing signs of her auto-immune problem . The first signs were her immune system attacking her nailbeds, deteriorating them until a nail would fall off. She started losing a nail. Vet visits, back on immuno-suppressors, and sitting with her as she was in some pain. Lost two so far. Hoping this doesn't turn into a full-blown crash like the last time.

Sympathy and prayers for Tiny. Hope she pulls through.

 

[ODIS]

Always so hard when the fur babies are having issues. They are ever so lucky to be in your capable hands as well as your family. We send our best!

 

[LXCam]

Poor puppy and to add insult to injury. The cone of shame

 

[RivennHewn]

 

[Toolfool]

Thanks guys. Our dogs mean a lot to us.

 

[Michael B.]

I hope tiny feels better soon.

 

[Toolfool]

Thanks Michael.

 

[PugetDude]

Hoping for the best for Tiny, John. It's always tough when man's best friend is ailing.

Shorty found me a $15 cabinet. I banged out some dents, scraped off the loose paint and repainted the whole thing ( 10 cans of Krylon gloss machinery gray). Giving it a couple of days of curing before installing the shelves and loading with 'stuff'.
I also picked up a light off FBMP for $20. Needs some work, but cheap enough.
Been spending a lot of time with the dogs. Another specialist vet visit for Tiny on Tuesday.

 

[PugetDude]

Good looking signal light visors, John.
Cabinet doesn’t look too bad , either.

 

[Michael B.]

Good work on the cabinet John. I like the light. What was its original purpose?
