starting February

Starting off February, I got the last lower cabinet disassembled and wrapped up with all the extra shelves. This is the last of 3 lower cabinets.

I am using the new "adjustable" saw horses my sister's family got me for christmas and my oversize I-beam supports.

I just have one more upper cabinet to wrap up that I will do later today. I have quite a stack of cabinets now, hopefully my dad or someone on CraigsList will be able to use them.


Now I have some space to put away some stuff that has been sitting out in the middle of the floor and space along the other wall to put up the cabinets that have been sitting there since early last year. My rolling lumber cart is going into this space, once I move that other stuff along the wall out of the way. I hope it fits.


Oh and there are a couple things I left off the list from last post:

1. Got my trailer lights working; ended up being that it didn't ground until it was laying flat. When it was foldeded up, the lights mostly don't work.


2. Installed the tank and faucet of a hot water tap for the kitchen sink; I still need to rewire the electrical to add a plug to plug it in and connect it to the the water pipe.
   
3. Installed shelving for storing lumber out of the way... on the outside wall of the garage. It is storing the 2x4s for my mobile workbench table top right now, but with the added space due to getting the cabinets out, I may have room to finally put that workbench top together. You can see the stack of lumber at the top of the last picture above.
   
4. Installed a key lockbox so that our extra keys are safer than just leaving them in a basket by the door.
   

Over 3 months

It has been over three months since my last post. (That kinda sounded like confession, but none here, except that I haven't been too busy during that time.)

I do have a list of projects I have worked on during that time though... I had to get out the pictures to help me remember what all I did and I am not sure I have pictures of everything.

Oct 2007 end: Celebrated Nephews birthdays

Isaac turned "1".


Tyler turned 4.


November:

Fixed sprinkler pipe


and partly filled in hole from plum tree


Dug up a wheelborrow full of irises which had overrun the front patch next to the driveway


Put up shelves above Aimee and my desks.



Put up Christmas lights


Spent Christmas with Family, I may post some pictures later.

It snowed Christmas Day!


Dec 31, 2007:
Had a really weird freeze that left this frost forest on my car roof.


Jan 2008:

Then less than a week later it snowed a little.


got the power strip attached above where my new workbench goes.


Then finished the first part of my workbench, that has a set of yet-to-be-finished pullout extensions to support large sheets for sawing (and evidently no picture.)

Watched as the local water company flooded my front yard for the 4th and worst time in 18 months


Celebrated my and Aimee's grandmother's birthdays with family in Seattle.


Removed old white melamine cabinets from the garage wall, took them apart and plastic wrapped them for someone else to maybe use. oh, and game myself a nasty blood blister in the process.




And it decided to really snow, about 4 inches, which stayed around about a week.

And that brings us to Feb. which just started.
