This seems to be the summer of working hard. I’ve been extremely busy this summer, and the funny thing is, none of it is online.

I’ve been doing lots of manual labor type of things. First of all, I helped my brother-in-law install a privacy fence. This required a ton of heavy lifting as well as hours of hard work. I also have been helping my neighbor lay stone on the front of houses. I have been doing this just to learn how it is done. Not to mention, I get to use lots of tools and materials I haven’t used before. I love to learn new things.

Last but not least, in my free time I have been restoring an old boat. My step father gave my a 1967 Starcraft fishing boat before he passed away. I felt it was my duty to get it in the water. I’ve purchased a motor, trailer and everything else I need to get it afloat. I’ve also pulled all of the hardware out and have been priming and painting it. It’s starting to look really good, I’ll post images once I get it done.

I really enjoy having something to work on in the garage. I find I’m spending most of my time there, rather than being online.
