Not everything is fun and games around here. There is always maintenance to accomplish as well building projects not related to guns to perform. This Sunday was one of those days. My boss, wife, deemed that the doors needed painting as well as the door frames. So all the doors except the big steel doors at the shot were painted. That is a total of 14 doors and frames that were painted ( house, guest house,shops and metal storage room) as well a new insulation cover built and painted for the walk in cooler I built.
In addition a friend dropped of his wacker to compact the soil for the addition at the fab shop. At my age I am just to old to play with this stuff, but I did it any way. The good news is that task is complete the bad news is that I feel it, big time.
However with the compacting completed finished I am ready for the next task.
It was also time to clean up the fab shop. It has gotten a little out of order and impossible to work in.
So a major clean up was in order. My better half and I finished it late Sunday. What a job.
Next I finished installing the lights I had on hand and wired them up and installed light bulbs.
The excitement was that hootie showed back up and stayed around for a few glamor shots.
He is great for dealing with the mouse problem. That’s all for this Sunday and I am already back at work on gun stuff.
What’s that guy doing in that first picture anyways??
I was fighting with the compactor and it was winning
Heh, that brings back some memories.
The last time I ran a wacker was decades ago. I was using it to pack dirt into a trench on ground that hadn’t seen any real rain in over a month and was rock hard. If you drifted to either side of the trench you got wacked in the face.
It was so much fun that I just don’t want to do it again. However, the dirt is read for the next phase and that is the rest of the forming for concrete pour.
