Title: Won't be scrolling for a few days
Post by: TomC on June 16, 2011, 08:07:10 pm

After you've owned a home for 25 yeasr or so, things that were just great when you first moved in aren't any more.  So, i have wallpaper to remove, walls to paint and plumbing from the upstairs bathroom that has to be redone.  Going to keep me busy for a few days (at least).

I know what you mean Tom. I lost my job two months ago and I thought I would have a lot of shop time. But I have been working in the back yard trimming trees, weeding, Removing ivy from block walls and on and on..... I see no end in sight! I did take a day off today and worked in the shop. It's nice to have sawdust on my cloths and not tree sap!

Thanks Dan.  you have my simpathies on the job.  I've been very blessed over the years and have not suffered from the economies troubles like many have.  I hope things turn around soon for you.

So you're now going for the big projects?
I'm just nearly done - moving into a new house took nearly 3 month of my time (aside working and the other "normal" stuff). I hope to get my shop finally set up this weekend and get more time on my projects.

go for it - and return to the saw from time to time in between. No need to stop scrolling (if the shop is still workable).

regards
Torsten

Not to worry, i won't be out of touch - just out of sawdust.  Actually, Torsten has it right - my saw is still set up, so i'll probably be able to take a break now and then and relax.
