I've been doing lot's of yard work and a bathroom repair for the past few weeks. The only woodworking was re-framing the bottom of a wall in the bathroom. The shower valve leaked inside the wall so the sill and bottom of the studs got moldy. It's a basement bathroom, on a slab, so I didn't notice the leak until the sill plate got wet enough to eventually cause the drywall to get wet. I cut some holes in the wall to see what was going on and found mold. Turned out to be a bad cartridge that decided to leak in such a way that the water ran backwards into the wall so I never knew it was leaking. Putting on the drywall mud now, hoping to prime this weekend. Yard work included rebuilding a 6' x 40' patio block walkway along the side of my house, mostly in 90°+ heat, planting some hollies along that walkway and spreading 1.5 tons of mulch. But! SWMBO brought home an oak chair from the group home she works in (adults with disabilities) It needs to be reglued, so I may spend a little time in the shop this weekend. This is the second chair. All it would have taken, both times, was for someone to tighten up the corner bolts as soon as the chairs started wobbling. Instead, they just kept using them until the stretchers fell out and the threaded inserts are barely holding on. I'll be busting out the West Systems epoxy, again. |

We refinished their son's bedroom floor, their bedroom floor is on the agenda. Hot and humid! Yeah I can relate. We start the mornings at a crisp 80 degrees with 99% humidity. Then it just gets worse. I mow my yard weekly and my shirt is totally soaked and sticking to my skin.

Just sheet rock with no insulation. The mold will likely go a way on its own as the heat in the attic will dry things out. I had another mold spot up there directly under the water heater vent. That vent partially filled/leaked during Harvey 3 years ago. Rain blew in. I cannot even see the spot anymore. |

She loves it over the builder grade gas. |

Then college graduation. Now our son is 33 and the Director of financial reporting for Kirby Corporation. The barge company, not the vac company. ;~) I can vividly picture taking a nap with him on the couch the day we brought him home from the hospital. We chose well at the hospital nursery. Looking back, this all seems to happen in the blink of an eye. Both the wife and kid are pretty awesome and definitely worth the effort! Yes they are! Puckdropper |

Along both sides of the house is a slope. My house is really close to my neighbor's on the east side and the property line comes up the hill between the houses at an angle. I own a wider section at the bottom, my neighbor owns a wider section on top. We both moved in within a month of each other and quickly realized why it was mostly dirt between the 2 houses. Grass just wouldn't grow. Slope, shade, foot traffic. To make it look better, we split the cost of those 8 x 16 red patio blocks and built a walkway down the center. We both put hollies next to our foundations and used these around them, filled in with red landscape rock: https://bestlumberandhardware.com/si...g-straight.jpg Over time, I lost a few hollies and the walkway was getting pretty uneven due to frost heave, gravity, roots, etc. The joints were washing out and getting weedy. The guy I built it with moved a few years ago and the kid that bought the house barely mows his lawn, so I knew there was no sense in asking him to help me rebuild it, even though he owns half of it. I probably leveled and straightened about 75% of the blocks, cleaned up the holly area and bought a couple of hollies to replace the ones that had died.. Years ago, I didn't think to put landscape fabric down under the red landscape rocks, so a lot of them had sunk 4"-5" down into the sandy soil. It was a lot of digging, leveling sifting of rocks, but I got it done. |

I upgraded the wood-on-wood drawer slides to full extension, self close. It was a fun project. When I delivered it to her in Vermont, I swung through Massachusetts and picked up my Dad, 82 at the time. The three of us went to Killington and took the gondola up to the top of the mountain for lunch. The spring time view was pretty neat. |

I painted it with Antique White milk paint. I love milk paint. |

Over the past couple decades I redid about half the interior (gutted) and the entire exterior (tore off everything--roofing, siding, doors, windows, soffits, fascia making everything look straight, level and plumb). Only a few more rooms to go and then new trim and flooring will be done throughout -- I plan on making both. The house is coming along and hopefully it's all done before I cannot do it any more! I recruit my sons for help whenever I can get them... I'm starting to wonder though if I'll need another roof before I finish the interior. ;~) |

Spent about a week and a half with a friend giving the plywood CNC router a good workout making "barcade" cabinets. Cut up about three sheets of MDF into piles of various shaped parts. cnc project: http://www.delorie.com/photos/cnc/ Also rebuilt a 1993 ZX6 motorcycle, but that's a different topic ;-) |

Spent about a week and a half with a friend giving the plywood CNC router a good workout making "barcade" cabinets. Cut up about three sheets of MDF into piles of various shaped parts. cnc project: http://www.delorie.com/photos/cnc/ Also rebuilt a 1993 ZX6 motorcycle, but that's a different topic ;-) I'm hoping to get my hands back on my Shaper Origin for the current job. I need to cut out 6 grills to support fabric in cabinet doors. |
