They'll be breaking ground on our new addition behind the house in a
day or so. Part of it will be a small shop for me, 15' x 22'. The
rest is living quarters for our 28 yr. old handicapped son. It'll
give him a greater sense of independence while we wait out the 10 yr.
or so waiting list for him to get the services he needs to live
elsewhere.

I'm looking forward to having a place to work. It'll be air
conditioned, which is pretty much a requirement here in central Texas.
Lately we've been right around 100 F, dewpoint high 60's. Pretty
warm. Still, it's not as bad as where I grew up on the coast. I was
down there re-doing the boat trailer. Dewpoints have been 79 lately.
If you're outside, you're drenched.

I'm getting ready by building new storage shelves in the garage and
re-assembling the stuff I pulled out of the basement in Michigan. I
do any heavy work before lunch, because the afternoons are a little
too hot with the western exposure of the garage.

As a matter of fact, I'm stopping this now to go sand and paint the
new storage shelves. More later.

Old tromping grounds, mind narrowing it closer than just central Tx.?
Austin, S.A., hill country? That's where I wanted to move, but there
would have been NO help building.

Between Georgetown and Liberty Hill. We can see the S. Fork of the
San Gabriel. It's a gated community with a POA, but they were very
reasonable, considering. The county health dept. required more
negotiating.

Yeap, that's a good place, you'll get use to the heat of the summers.

The only time I was in that almost exact area was a Halloween party
back around 1998. Sis said lets go and as soon as she started the car
about 8 cop cars showed up and started running to the house. Perfect
timing !

Enjoy
