I mowed roadsides with the a/c on, got up to 90 today in full sun. Pulled the blackout screen closed for the roof glass panel
My garden helper got most of the weeds out of the big flower garden and took down dozens of trash bags of junk from the second floor for the dump and mostly xmas
treasures for GoodWill. Now that my truck bed is full of bags, I wonder if GW will be open on Monday...with a stay at home order just announced.

The virus mess has come home to roost for me, not getting sick, though our County now has two actives reported, but rather
in messing up my plans for a back operation. My good friend who has connections at the Philadelphia hospitals just emailed me:
The hospital is gearing up for a huge Virus influx. Perhaps peaking in MAY. Penn has cleared 500 beds and there’s virtually no elective surgery being done unless it’s to save a life

So, just going to have to be patient while others deal perhaps with much greater problems than mine.

Realtors said no phone calls at all on anything
Lots of folks trying to do workarounds and cope with this, trying to keep businesses running
and keep folks employed. Over 3 million unemployed, bet that jumps up.

Ron, I think that was your best bird pic yet, what a pretty bluebird.

Carpenter here working on a few repairs. The wood facing boards on top of the raised garden had rotted and needed to be replaced.
He suggested and I agreed that brown colored Trex would do just fine, and hold up much better to all the watering needed.
He is a lifelong carpenter and now does cabinet work, and works on things he wants to on the side.

I've had problems in the past with trade people who come to my home as their second shift.
Often they are just plain tired.

I went out and took some pics of the shop... I know I needed proof that it happened! All this reorganization just affirmed that I need a bigger shop!

Now that's nice :thumbsup: your friend must be retire.

Great job and big job. However I was worried you were missing something important until I finally found it...the HF catalog.

I did not even realize that it was there.... I had to go back and check the pictures... LOL!

Reminds me of my garage, Ted. I spend a lot of time moving one or two machines out of the way to get anything done, and even more time walking sideways to get through some of the tight spaces. You still have a LOT of room on those pegboards; just move the pegs closer together!

But now that your son is all trained up in the building trade, when are you going to tell him his next big project is building you a nice shop building?:laughing:

All the larger stationary tools are now on casters, wheel them out, use, put back in place. It all started when Rick put casters on the press... I did the same a few days later with my same press... worked so well that the bandsaw was next, then the movable workbench for the miter saw.

I actually planned out and drew the prints for another garage / workshop about twice as big. With the knee situation, the exuberant material costs, and the labor / time involved, we decided to hold on it for a while. I am not planning to have a lot of big projects, so what has sufficed for years will have to continue to do so for a few more.

I did not get a chance to work on the cabinet doors today. I was occupied over at the neighbors, we got a double decker workbench built, then installed a hard plumbed compressed air system w/ taps. Fired up the compressor, full pressure and no leaks! Now I have to recharge the energy banks... a hot shower and some recliner time is in order...
