Nice job, as usual.

Thanks, Greg ... good to see you back posting again.

Thanks, KC.
Wondered if anyone would notice... ;-) I snuck in the back way...

Warm weather has me busy working on a house, so I don't get to do much
in the way of "woodworking" except in winter. This is the first
project for this winter:

You should have an appreciation for this more than many:

Replacement windows, doors, siding, building wrap and insulation:

Roof:

More or less finished for the year:

Homemade material lift:

Every ton of building materials humped by me, alone, including
uncountable tons of Hardiplank, 58 bundles of shingles, door units
with sidelights, 3 (48"x62") double paned tempered glass picture
windows, and several truckloads of replacement framing and sheathing
to replace the termite eaten originals.

All that work, and it's still a McMansion in a dirty corporate owned
southern city. Tired and feeling way too old for this sort of thing...

My life is totally backwards - had it good in my teens and 20s. Now
I'm resorting to this due to the jobs sucking wind these days.
Slave Laborors, Lawyers, and Technology, Bah!
