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:

Beautiful turning ... look out charlieb and mac!
You should have an appreciation for this more than many:
Replacement windows, doors, siding, building wrap and insulation:

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...
Great work, Greg!! That is something to be proud of!!
BTW, looks similar to some of what I've been building the past few years:

.... although I subcontract most all of the work out due to too many years
under the bridge for that much humping (but I did the kitchens on the first
two by myself, and Leon and I have done the kitchens on the last three).
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!
Yeah, I remember those trials and tribulations ... keep your chin up buddy!
You're doing better than you think.
