Well I realized, that I have been lazy with blog updates, I have been posting most of the little projects on Facebook.  I suppose that happens when they are not big projects.  Those are pretty much done for the year.  So here is what has happened in the last month or so.

I built a water jug rack.

We made a bad ass pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving was amazing.

Turkey’s were eaten with relish.

I made a red beet and apple salad for the julboard.

I learned to make decent Thai noodles.

I made lasagna.

It got dark early.

I took apart the microwave.

And then mounted the microwave.

Lots of Sushi.

Tons of sushi.

We headed south for the holidays.

Someone built this amazing snow lego dude.

The wife got new ink.

While in Milwaukee I helped pour some concrete.

I was given a great way to spiral cut hams.

Installed the kitchen mac mini.

Started some electronics projects.

It snowed a lot.

It got REALLY COLD.

I took advantage of the cold and froze some veggies outside.

I got smart and started wheeling in the wood.

1/2 cord indoor log rack.

I built this log rack. It holds about half a cord.w

To quote the Starks of Winterfell, “Winter is coming.”  That is for sure, a few small snowfalls have us preparing for the inevitable large snow occurrence that will happen in the near future.

We really finished cleaning the yard this time, I put on the last 6 shingles on the shed, and we putzed about completing a bunch of small tasks that needed to be accomplished.

The big task of the day was clearing some brush on the side of the driveway to put the camper in there.  After running the saw for about 2 hours I had everything cut down, cleaned up and moved over to the wood area for splitting into next years kindling.

Speaking of kindling, I have always wanted taller chopping block.  Something that is easier for me to work at with the hatchet without having to bend over.  I have aspirations of making a nice one with log legs and boring holes in the bottom of the chopping block.  Well, this was way faster.  It is not pretty but Works.  I think it needs a larger base to be a bit more stable but for now, It works great and I used more scrap lumber from my cleaning out my folks garage to make it.

So much has happened in the past couple days that I have not really had time to type out an update.

We moved.  If you would like my new address send me a facebook message.  I will seriously correspond with anyone who enjoys writing letters.  Send me some postal mail and I will surely send something back.

The fiber is installed and I am loving it.  Very nice guy came to do the install it took a few hours but when he left I have a phone that works, msg me for the number, and blazing fast internet.

As a side effect of moving everything is in a total state of disaster.  The shed was full of piles of stuff the house was full of piles of stuff.  The wife attacked the house and I did the shed.  I got some lumber and built a ramp as well as a bunch of shelves.  The ramp is really nice to walk up and down and that way I can get the lawnmower in there eventually.

I need the space for the tools in the shed so I can make more storage for inside the house.  Sort of an evil catch 22.  But each day I make some more progress.  That feels good and is important.  Have a wonderful evening folks.  I am totally exhausted.
