Gettin in some firewood now, but stayin cool is usually the problem here. Ref. the large A C unit!! We have 99/99 days in summer. 
Thats 99% humidity (you can breathe it or drink it) and 99 degrees.    The horses just stand in the shade and sweat. Me I just hunker in the bunker. Can't take that heat any more.

HOT ?  best--or worst I've seen in Las Vegas  121 deg. F  in August,  21 deg. F in January--quite a swing. But almost zero humidity,   ....Tom

Here in Central Washington I've seen 114 and -48, but no humidity. What is this HUMIDITY you speak of?

I want that! I assume the gun room will include a comfy couch in case the boss/wife confines you to "your" bunker, lol!

Wow!  You don't even have to ever leave.

I can't open the file, does he have a Kegerator?

[sweed]

No kegerator!    Just an apartment kitchen/bath arrangement with AC heat pump. One door leads to metal shop, one to the wood shop.

Sweet! I love it when a project comes together.

[sweed]

Been busy lately!  Havent posted much so here is an update! "One piece at a time!!"

I cant take selfees while doing this. All the boys I had lined up to help suddenly had "Other things" to do, or their car was broke, Their cell phone was out of minutes..... duh! I was going to pay.


This is all that showed up. She's on the landscapeing crew. 


Six more roof perlins to bolt up. Walk door, then the skin. I built one of these compleetly by my self about 12 years ago, with 14' wall on top of a 2' block wall.    Every screw, Every bolt! Did I mention that was 12 years back?  Are years gettin longer???  Any way the contractor throwed down about twice what I figured to be fair to skin the thing , so here we go again.  Hopefully there will be enough left of me to build something, when I get it finished! Big project for an old man, but like daddy always said, "Ah! No hill for a stepper!"  GET ER DONE!!!

The lawnmower is a Dexter. Small breed from Ireland. Bull comes in around 900lb. Gentle, but fiestie breed. Saw the whole heard, 1 bull (looks like a Spanish fighting bull) 5 cows and 3 calves, chasing a    stray dog out of their pasture yesterday. No longer worried about coyotes !!!!  Had my reservations bout them, but seem to be workin out!
