Pit Stop is coming home SOON!

Post by yugogypsy »

Hopefully within the week. :)

Poor old girl is needed as an extra shed while we gut the house before the re-wiring is done. But some of what we take out will become part of her permanent fixtures.

I decided that if I have to gut the darn house, I'll save up and change the things I really dislike about it anyhow and have a HOME that makes me happy :D , not a HOUSE that makes me furious :x

So the house gets a reno, and Pit Stop gets furnished at the same time, can't do better than that :)

Sounds pretty busy out there. <g> Be sure to allow (and defend) as much space as you can where it's sort of clean and neat so you don't totally freak out as work drags along. It's a little know fact, but remodels have been linked to certain forms of insanity... <G>

Cheers, Rufus

Rick was busy all weekend clearing that area and had 2 bonfires.

Raining like heck today so I guess we'll be doing inside chores, got woke up at 5 this morn by some joker calling and laughing on my cel--"unknown #" of course.

I cannot shut my cel off at night because it is also my alarm, and doesn't have an alarm only setting--or I haven't found it yet--if anyone has a Blackberry Curve, tell me how to put it on alarm only if you know please!

I'll take a nap later, Rick is bumbling around half-asleep still, I hope he wakes up properly soon. There is a ton of work to be done.

Cheers

I think if you set your phone on "quiet" mode, you will only hear the alarm, not calls.

I use an old style Big Ben Westclox clock for alarm. And then I can turn the phone off. And I don't believe in all that electronic gadgetry, so this is a wind up spring type clock.

Absolutely. Have to use it at work. (Writing software for electronic controls for air conditioning systems - go figure!?)

Woodworking at home, unless am in BIG hurry is with hand tools, picked up as rusty metal at every little shop/sale we stop at. I do use an electric motor on buffing wheel to get rust off.

I keep my hand planes sharp enough to plane a slice 0.001" thick off the edge of a board. Can see through them. (Don't get me wrong - am very much an amateur, but insist on sharp tools.)

And I don't trust and don't use ATM's either.

OK, good luck Lois.
Don't park it on the flat spot. Bob wants that spot.

Nope, parking by the woodshed, gotta keep the woodbox full so I'm nice & warm :wink:

By the way Chuck-you get the lawn for parking, so if anyone wants out, you're gonna have to move.
