What A Week

This is Friday and I am happy about that. I do not have to work this weekend and I am even more happy about that.
I have all day Saturday to work on the Solar Bathroom so maybe I will at least get the floor done. Working with old wood takes a lot longer to built because of the nails and extra cutting you have to do. If I get to it, I will have photos to show.

My Sunday is a bust. I have to drive down and pick up the oldest girls car she HAD to take to college with her. We all told her not to take it, but we are old and do not know what we are talking about. It has some major problems I hope to patch up so we can sell it. That way she can have some money for another car when she comes up for the Christmas break.

That's all I got for now.

  1. Glad you're feeling better so you can get back to your projects ...and that you have a little time off from work to devote to those projects. Tough break on the car, but some lessons are learned the hard way. We were just as bull-headed about stuff when we were that age, right?

  2. You know it's common knowledge that father's are stupid. We don't gain respect and intelligence until the child reaches forty or so...

  3. Thanks HB. I am still not 100% but I am able to work.
    Maybe she will start listening to dear old day now and your right, I would not have listened either at her age.

    Stephen - That right there you can take to the bank. Maybe mine will start a little sooner than that.

  5. hey mdr - more power to you - can't wait to see the final results!!

    i have a tip (if you don't already know it). the guy who built framboise manor was nail crazy and i mean CRAZY!! there was a ton of wood laying around but bristling with nails.. rather than try to extract them i took my angle grinder to the whole pile and buzzed the porcupine boards in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to extract the nails, i just have to careful to look at the boards before i cut them.

    just a thought - keep up the good work!!!

  7. jam - Thanks for the tip. I pull the nails so I can bend them back straight and reuse them. The ones I cannot use I throw into some of my massive cracks out in the yard. I will remember that next time I am fed up with pulling nails.

  9. Every kid wants a car in college. I didn't get mine until I was a Junior at UNM. It was a 1958 volkswagen bug and was one great car.

  12. Umm... It made it down here. I'm proud of it for that. Granted I'll know not to buy a certain vehicle such as that again, but no worries fa-fa, I knew you were right. Lesson Learned. lol
