Play house Pt 2

Here are the pics I said I'd post didn't get a whole lot done today spent most of the day doing honey do's. I'm sure you all know about those. Did get the 4th wall framed in now all I have to do is put plywood up and the out side will be closed in . Sure looks small when you start putting walls and things up .

Play house

          I spent the day designing and building a play house for my Grand Daughter Who will be turning 5 years old next week. I didn't have the money to go buy all nice new stuff to build it with but I did have an old pile of 2x4's laying out behind my shop so I thought I would take out the nails and use them. Guess what none of them are any good. I expected the ones on top to maybe be bad but the ones toward the bottom were just nasty . I'll give you one guess what I'm taking to the dump on my next trip......... I did however have some light gauge punched angle metal the kind of metal they use for hanging garage door openers . So I built the frame out of that It's kinda flimsie but when you get it all put together and put siding on it It's perfect for building walls. I did not take any pics of my first day of construction all I got done was three walls and the floor I'll post pics as soon as the sun comes out. The hard part is going to be the interior of the house I'm a little worried about that..........................RICK

wireing

Just a side note .Got evey thing hooked up and working in the wireing dept . Thats a 5 year old problem off my mind. I can now actually run my table saw and dust extractor at the same time without kicking a breaker. Its wonderful to live in the 21 century............Rick

As I told you last time I posted I would post some pics well this is them. such as they are the first one is a pic of my current power source 2 50' extention cords ran from an outlet on the side of my house. Not a very good plan but it has lasted for 5 years.

breakers boxes and wire

After 5 years of running my wood shop on two really heavy gauge extention cords approx. 50ft long each I am now going to install a breaker box and hard wire my shop to its own seperate 30amp service . I'm hoping thats enough to not be blowing breakers all the time. I sure am getting tired of having to run back and forth from the house to the shop every time it blows one. Everything in my shop operates on 110 so I'm thinking at this point that should be all I need. I will shoot some pics on my progress as I go ,but really what can be entertaining about wires hanging out of a wall. While this process is taking place I'm am still in clean-up mode as well as dust extraction installation. I really don't know what to do next........Rick

Dust don't spoil

I normally have every Friday off but since monday was a holiday which I had off now I'm working today to replace the day.. I'm not sure I understand the lodgic in that But, There are a lot of people out there smarter than me. With everything else that I have to do over the short weekend I doubt I will gain much clean up in my shop. It.s 4:15 A.M. right now I,m just getting ready to go to work and I won't be done untill approx. 4: 30 P.M.  I suppose I could take a short nap and then work tonight but you know thats not gonna happen I'm just not that driven. Besides dust don't spoil I might just put all that aside and nail some wood together this weekend if I get the time. I am the Master of my own destiny.Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing done

   Well here it is Feb. 20 , Presidents day and I have less done now than I did a week ago. I have this ability to avoid doing the things that I should do and doing the things that I don't need to do . Anyone else with that talent ?. How will I ever know no one is reading this blog anyway. I can pretty much say or do anything I want on here and not be haunted by its content at a later date.. I do so hope to get some more clean up done this coming weekend but, I am faced with a short weekend and lots of other things to do. I have been batteling a cold for the past few days so I will use that as my excuse. Yea Yea Thats the ticket..............Rick
