What warm air????  It's 26F outside.  

That’s a heat wave!

Our three days of Christmas celebration is over. Yesterday, we fed 12 people. Phyl made 5 different soups, we had 6 types of desserts. Cheese and veggie trays abounded. Beer and spirits were available but not much imbibing was done.

Today, I need to remove a front door light to make room for an awning post. Then, remove a few dozen feet of electrical wiring in the shop in preparation for the final steps in the Shop's room demo. That should yield 16 ea. 2X6X12s and about 20 ea. 2X4X 10's and 16 or so sheets of 1/2" MDF. All of which will be used in the new shop interior. 

The person that constructed that 10X20 room must not have owned a hammer. He used Dry wall screws for everything. Which made demo quiet easy and resulted in a bunch of reusable material. So far, I've collected a gallon and a half of D/W screws and about 30 bent nails. No, I shan't be straightening them.

That's the reason for the drywall screws.

Ya gotta keep her comfortable and that is tough.  This should fit the bill though.

All you have to do is you and your minions sell a million dollars worth of Mary Kay cosmetics and it's free.   The best of MLM.

Pink Camo -- works well when the observer is red-green colorblind.

 

Back to the subject at hand, being "blursday", I got 4 coats of shellac on the kissmas trees, two on each side.  I had enough hardware cloth left to make a second spray grid yesterday

 

Was out in nice warm shop all day.  Took apart old cart and made new wider frame for it.  Will be able to reuse sides and the casters.  Had to glue in a panel for the bottom frame so that will be tomorrow or Tuesday before I get back to it.  Parts bins are also on last coat of paint, should also be ready Tuesday.  Time to move into that 1/4 x 20 drawer and see if I have enough room or will need the 2nd drawer as well.

Shopping is done..The Boss now has her Birthday Present...old van got traded in..

2017 Chevy Equinox LT....

I think this will do nicely enough....was getting tired of Mopar stuff, anyway...

Going to take a while, to learn all the Bells & Whistles this thing has....Boss loves it.

Monday was canceled due to technical difficulties...
