m sprank Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Took me 3.5 hours. but... Got skills. 4x8 ft sheet and a half to the vaulted ceiling with zero assistance. Yes, age and treachery trump youth and enthusiasm once again. Guaranteed it was not osha approved, but osha was not on-site. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy peasy. Cirling back around to this. If anyone else has any great ideas, then kick in, but I'll plan also making/freezing a few batches of dough, and I'll start shopping sales to stock up on some basic toppings and some canadian cheese. Pizza night Friday. Or every night, I don't care. There is no such thing as too much pizza. Happy to help with whatever, but as pointed out last year, there are a few limitations on what you can bring across the border, so probably burgers or a cooler full of ground meat is likely to cause problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 HUGE Thanks to @KZJonny!!! You know what you did. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJBerk Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 @KZJonny I’ll think seriously about it in the weeks right before. I anticipate there will be grocery stores not too far, and with any luck some produce markets nearby. I usually travel to ‘camp’ with a few cooking essentials and will do the same here. I think pizza is a perfect idea - as we get closer, why don’t you and I work out those details. I don’t have to cross a border. I think meat fest is always good too. Baked potatoes, a veg, etc etc. Hamburger/Brat cookout is always good - coleslaw, potato salad, bake beans. I’m 100% doing as much or as little as makes everyone else comfortable for dinners. We all know I don’t do breakfast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Labor of love progress. The ceiling is almost complete. What a joy cutting/fitting all those angles. Framed in the sides of the 3 gables and insulted. Can now mount panel over the gable ends. All work done with a single 23 year old Ryobi circular saw, a 10 year old B&D jig saw, a 20 year old Makita chop saw and a Harbor Freight straight edge. All nails hammered by hand. Staple gun is a 10 year old manual variety. One battery drill used to hold panels for fitting, then screw removed and nailed in place. One four foot aluminum extension ladder (12ft lid, so all work is truly overhead). No power within 300 ft, so all lumber cut and carried by hand to the shed. Used a bread knife to cut insulation. I turn 50 in June. Feel like I have not worked this hard since the shop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day I did a bathroom project where I had to cut a lot of cement backer boards. Wasn't fun without a mask. I will be 52 this summer.

I wish Paige had something like that as a kid! Wife asked if I wanted a party. Cor the past 5 years I work from home and have made few aquiantences locally since relocating. All my "friends" are 2500 miles away. I had a BBQ for my b-day prior to leaving Cali. That was the last time I had the "boys" together. It's another day, I am good. Mary can't wait to decorate.

I have never worn a mask. Or much safety gear for that matter. My body bares the scars. Never wanted to live forever, just hope the end is not a prolonged illness. Do as I say, not as I do. I am a poor leader by example when it comes to taking care of yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the longest time, I never really worried about consequences of actions. Never expected to see 40, nor did most of my friends. 20 years later, I feel every one of my choices when I pry myself out of bed in the morning.

m sprank Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Blood Will Flow II, fruity (like many of today's offerings) with a hint of citrus. But not too fruity and sweet. Hits you like a frieght train. Worth a second try for sure. Me likes. Restless Dreams, not fruity but hoppy. Not bitter hoppy. More of a "classic" IPA. Not the freight train but just right for relaxing. Me definitely likes. Koko chocolate peanut... Wow. Wow. Wow. Can't type, must consume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Koko vanilla banana.... I am sure there is a market, my wife who does not like beer would probably very much enjoy it. Me, not so much. Just not my cup of tea. Although at almost 12% it could help get the party started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Met @JJBerk for dinner last night. Had a great time and meal. We are getting close to meet time. Should I order tees? Call room dibs/final head count? Plan any specific excursions/events/etc? Meal plan for the time when the entire group will be together? Final payment check has cleared for the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subie, flag... remove 1 letter and it opens a world of low class, no pc humor especially if you drive an ob or forester and are familiar with subarus past. I was so gonna bust some chops, but... @KZJonny and @boxkita kinda beat me to it a few posts back. You coming to the meet this year or flaking out again?
