Yikes!!!

Thanks to those who replied about my testing. First of all, it is still pouring rain and it is reported that, it will rain this whole week. Hope not. I got bad news, my car basically died on me and it would cost way more than it's worth. I sold it yesterday to a guy for parts. So, now I am looking around. In the mean time, I did manage to get some wood cut. Now I have to figure out how to load photos from my phone. Anyway, I am here and doing well. I will sign off until I figure the photo thing. Thanks.

Testing

Hi everyone, I am testing to see if I can blog from my cell phone.

It's been awhile

  Hi everyone, I know it's been about 2 weeks and I apologize for that. Thing is, I really didn't have much to say. I had a couple of nice days and had to spend them working on projects. It's been nothing but rain here and it really got me down because, it was putting my projects aside. Anyway, it stopped raining this morning for awhile and suppose to start up again this afternoon.
  I cleared out a bunch more trees.

BEFORE

NOW

  As everyone knows, I have been cutting up and carrying out the trees I cut last year but, because of the rain, I haven't got that much out.







I did manage to build another deck, it is 8x10 and it turned out pretty good. The bend in the middle has been corrected.



I have enjoyed sitting on it day and evening when it wasn't raining.

  As everyone knows, I cannot complete a project without casualty, LOL. I tripped over a stump moving the deck in place.

On my way out to the outhouse one night, it was pretty dark and got the bright idea, it needs light. I went to Lowes and found these solar lights and really like them and they are pretty bright.

I put in a new floor and some 16x16 slate pieces under the wood stove. Sorry, it's a bit blurry





Not sure why the blurriness but, I will correct it when I can. Yesterday, I got a truck load of pit run to fill in a space and as a base for a shop I am going to build. The following pictures are the two decks I will connect together for the floor.
 


And, this is where it will sit.

I took some random photos





I usually put nuts out for my buddy, I have him trained so, when I say come, he does.

This Magpie discovered the nuts and decided to take advantage of a free meal.



It's nice to see something other than Chickadees and Camp robbers. Although, this Woodpecker showed up. He is a bit hard to see. He is close to the top of the post.

We had a couple of chilly mornings, 2 in a row.



These are more photos after cutting the rest of the trees down.









Sorry again for the blurry photos. I can't hang out and longer, have to get back and do some work before the rain hits again. I will try not to take so long in posting after this. Take care everyone.
