Cleaning the Garage

Cleaning the garage, or in my case, rearranging to make room for the Douglas Fir and wainscoting, (bead board), is about half done. I have some before pictures but not after because it's not done yet. I have a bunch of stuff in the drive and the car can't be put in. But I did get the plywood and stuff move to where the 7.5' cabinet was and the cabinet has been fastened to the wall. I did find a lot of scrap too, copper & aluminum.

From the way I feel, verryyyyy tired, both yesterday and today, I know I have some limits. Eight hours is one thing but more and two days in a row, is another. I will try to go a little less tomorrow. So here are the pic's.

The whole wall is cleared off.

I like this old radio. Dad put it together. He told me today that the case didn't come with that radio. I would like to restore, ok fix it up.

Here in America it seems that so many people can't get their cars in the garage. I don't have anything stored in there, my brother does and two nephews, and of course dad has some too.

We have never been well off, but we make the most of what we have. Medical bills and other things in life cost a lot. Sometime others spend money they don't have and store it at G-pa's. ;-)

Work Day 6 - RG Project

We loaded all of the sheet metal scrap into the truck. I found a piece stamped with 1915. So I would guess that was about the time of construction. I was going to take a picture but the batteries died. Just one picture, but noway.

So we started off. I decided to stay off the main highway, Route 30, and take Hazel road, a blacktop. Well a few miles down the road and a piece of U shaped pipe came off and hit the rear tire. I stop to get it and then I hear it. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I had a flat. I guess that I had a hole in it from the pipe. Well we get it changed and come to find out the it hit the value stem, no hole and I can get it fix for free, road hazard. :-)

The load came to 360lbs, $36.90. Not bad and everything worked out.

We got back before 11am and got to work. Got all of the window trim except for one, stuff stack there. Took the rest of the baseboard off the east and part of the south walls. Then removed the last of the plaster from both walls. It was 12:30pm and I was out of time. So after getting charged batteries, too a few pic's.

 Thursday's I have the Lee County Genealogy Society. Today I needed to be there at 3pm & had some running around to do before hand. I finally had lunch, a sub sandwich at 4:30pm. I was so tired that by 6:30 I was headed home. I guess my day was catching up with me. BTW I'm down 5lbs. more to 250. Oh one more thing. Jim has a dog.
