  • More Progress

    So I got up and got to it, needed to run the last of the front wires. Took a bit of time to get the wire ready to pull but I did it. But I got into the attic and over the HVAC unit and felt the panic start to set in, I had to…

  • Beautiful Day

    Slept in today, well I guess no more than usual. But I got up and made it to Harbor Freight and got a new cable puller, I need two for the camera project. Got another two runs finished. I wasn’t aware how much stuff we have above the garage in the attic, I had to…

  • Monumental Day

    Today I paid off my house. So I no longer have any debt. I own my SUV, RV, truck, and house. Just property taxes on the house, utilities, and insurance. The goal is now that all of these things are paid off, we look for some property and find a place that will be home…

  • New Phone

    So for a while now I’ve been looking at getting a new phone. I don’t have a phone plan, or provider or contract so what am I supposed to do? I use Google Fi and I brought my unlocked from Metro to Fi when Fi was a much better deal. But it’s mostly cheaper than…

  • Packratting

    As much as I don’t want to admit it I’m a bit of a pack rat. It comes from wanting to have things close at hand I believe. That and not wanting to have to reacquire said part/tool/whatever. This does however become an issue when it comes to things like computer cables. I finally have…

  • New shelves for the garage.

    So cleaning out the garage is a painfully slow process, to the point where you don’t know where to start, but I got the new shelves in for the garage and I can at least put things away to help clear the junk. Slowly but surely it’s taking shape.

  • Pavers Up

    Thanks to Sandy and Shelly for the assistance, the pavers that served as a makeshift work area for the shed construction have been picked up and stacked into two huge stacks. Now the grass can start to regrow. This marks the end of one project and ready for the next.

  • Moving Bricks

    So there are pictures here and there about the pavers that were laid out to provide a work area for building the shed. Well now it’s time to pick them back up so I can run the skid steer through without turning them into rubble. There was probably a better way to do this but…

  • Making Progress

    As thrilled as I was at the shed being ‘completely done’ the glory was, sadly, short lived. It began to dawn on me how much work laid ahead to actually make use of the shed. Cleaning off and cleaning and moving the shelving and everything on it from the garage is a daunting task. Made…

  • Second Floor

    So I wasn’t sure if/when I was going to put in a loft but the difficulty in raising the roof seems to necessitate it. Here’s to building on up!
