HELLO ALL,

BEEN A FEW DAYS AGAIN BUT, STILL MADE A LITTLE PROGRESS. SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS ON THE COUCH WITH WHAT I'M PRETTY SURE WAS PNEUMONIA. GOT PAST THAT AND DID A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE SHOP.

PUT UP SOME OF THE NEW LIGHTS, INSTALLED THE NEW PHONE. BOUGHT A NEW(USED) STEREO AND PICKED UP A NEW(USED) SUBWOOFER FROM THE OLDEST SON.

I HAD AN OLD 5.1 ONKYO SURROUND SOUND SETUP, THAT I BOUGHT AT A YARD SALE FOR $100, PROBABLY 15 YEARS AGO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE CHANNELS DIDN'T WORK, RECENTLY I HAVE LOST SEVERAL MORE SO, IT WAS TIME TO UPGRADE. SO MY YOUNGEST SON FOUND A DENON 7.1 UNIT. I'M WORKING ON SOME NEW SPEAKERS(USED) THAT I SHOULD HAVE IN A FEW WEEKS. STILL LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TV, BUT THAT IS SECONDARY FOR NOW.

I KNOW IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A MESS BUT, I HAVE CLEANED UP SOME MORE SINCE THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE NEW SUBWOOFER, HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT ALL HOOKED UP BUT, THAT IS THE PLAN FOR THIS WEEKEND PLUS TO WORK ON THE WEST WALL. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET BOTH DONE BY THE TIME THE SUPERBOWL COMES ON.

WELL I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

                                                          TALK TO YOU SOON,

STILL MOVING ALONG

HELLO ALL,

WORKED IN THE SHOP THIS PAST WEEKEND. MAKING SOME HEADWAY.

BUILT SOME NEW CABINETS ON THE NEW WORK BENCH, DID SOME MORE CLEANING AND THROWING AWAY( STILL MUCH MORE NEEDED IN THAT AREA!).

HERE'S SOME PICS OF THE PROGRESS:

THE BENCH TOP IS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED GYM FLOOR, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD IN PERSON. I ALSO MADE UP THE TRIM PIECES FOR THE EDGES OF THE BENCH TOP, JUST HAVEN'T PAINTED THEM YET. ORDERED UP THE NEW LIGHTS FOR THE CEILING FIXTURES, THE ONES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THERE NOW ARE PROBABLY 40 YEARS OLD OR OLDER. I PICKED THEM OUT OF THE TRASH AT THE CAT DEALER I WORKED AT 25 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY REMODELED. OVER THE YEARS I'VE KEPT THEM WORKING BUT, NOW IT'S TIME FOR BETTER LIGHTING. THEY SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW, I ALSO ORDERED A NEW PHONE, SO THE ONE IN THE PICTURE WILL BE REPLACED.

PICKED UP ALL THE OSB TO FINISH THE WALLS, SO, THE NEXT MOVE IS TO FINISH THE WEST WALL, IT NEEDS THE MOST OSB AND PAINTING AND TRIM. THAT WILL LEAVE ME THE NORTH WALL, IT NEEDS THE MOST ATTENTION. I WANT TO REPLACE THE BREAKER PANEL WITH A LARGER BOX, MORE CIRCUITS, AND PUT IN A FEW MORE OUTLETS AND ANOTHER 220 PLUG. ALSO NEED TO BUILD CABINETS ON THAT WALL AS WELL.

WELL, LIKE THE TITLE SAYS, STILL MOVING ALONG.

                                                                          TALK TO YOU SOON,

JUST AN UPDATE

HELLO TO ALL,

WELL, MADE IT THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. HAD A GOOD TIME WITH THE YOUNGEST SON HOME FROM COLLEGE. ALL THE FAMILY CAME OVER FOR CHRISTMAS EVE AND WE RODE FOUR WHEELERS AND GOLF  CARTS, SHOT GUNS AND ATE WELL. GOOD TIMES!

GOT SOME MORE DONE ON THE SHOP, PAINTED AND TRIMMED OUT ANOTHER WALL, THREW OUT A BUNCH OF SHIT, CHANGED SOME ELECTRICAL AROUND, BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOOL BOX (FIRST ONE EVER!).

STARTED ON ANOTHER WALL, CHANGED SOME MORE ELECTRICAL BOUGHT A USED DOOR AND INSTALLED IT BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE SHOP.

NEXT TO THIS DOOR I BUILT SOME NEW WORK BENCH AREAS, THE OTHER NIGHT I BOUGHT SEVERAL SHEETS OF 4X8 OLD GYM FLOORING FROM A GUY IN LAFAYETTE, CAME OUT OF A JUNIOR COLLEGE GYMNASIUM. IT WILL BE THE NEW BENCH TOPS IN THAT SPACE PLUS, WILL REPLACE THE TOP ON ONE OF MY OLD BENCHES. WHEN I GET IT CUT AND FITTED I'LL POST SOME PICS OF IT.

I STILL HAVE SOME CABINETS TO BUILD, ONE WHOLE WALL TO FINISH AND ANOTHER WALL TO PRETTY MUCH RECONSTRUCT, BEFORE IT'S ALL DONE, PLUS NEW LIGHTING. SO MUCH STILL TO DO, BUT AT LEAST IT'S PROGRESS.



                                                  WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, TALK

                                                  TO YOU SOON,
