You can say that again...wait you did.

 

If you'd quit making those beer crates, you could finish this job.

Egads! there were 2 of you at one time???????

Probably a glitch in the matrix that had to be corrected.

Not with SWMBO on my back about 'this job'!

Reminder Kevin, these are for siding shingles, not beer crates

I did figure out today that a shingle is 3/4" longer than a Beer Box side piece, SO who's to say, under the premise of making shingles, somehow I end up cutting more than I need, who would know.

No one as long as you have a shop refrigerator to bank the payment...well no one other than those that reads these posts.

I love beer.  Especially dark, tasty beer.

But I find that beer interferes with my productivity.

My hat's off to you man, no way I could take payment in beer and manage to get as much done as you do!

Back in my younger days I’d fix motorcycles for beer. Not a bad deal if all you wanted to do was wrench on bikes and drink beer. Doesn’t work out so well anymore though.

@Zach, I'm retired, and the money isn't that important. It's a good deal for both me and the brewer.

@JWD I like good beer, I've been drinking 'Long Trail Double Bag' for years. The Beer CSA keeps me out of a rut and offers a variety for people who stop by.

The beer stays in the Fridge until the work is done. I have been known to crack one during the sanding of the boxes, but never when saws are running

 

I just picked up my CSA share last weekend, and my monthly supply* on Thursday and again it's all about helping the local country store that comes with a discount.
