It is great to be back, even though the associated work is more than I wanted--and we paid guys to do the heavy lifting! Ya get old and fat you want someone else to sling the ice box around.
Actually, we didn't pay them all. Some teenagers from a local church helped a lot, as did family and friends. This end was a lot less costly, even though some local pick-up labor thought $14 an hour was a fair wage for unloading a truck (sure is far, for a good carpenter around here).
So the next couple of months will be spent straightening the shop, painting the walls (did the ceiling about 4 years ago), painting the floor (it's varicolored right now, between dark green (terrible for photography, but it sure lets you know where the excess sawdust is--plus every other speck), setting up machinery, building a wood rack, getting ready to add a foyer to the house, getting ready to add 4' to the bedrom end of the house, and onward. Biggest deal is clearing out a section of the old storage shed so I can move my loads of air dried oak and cherry indoors. I want to do that this weekend, but it depends on the local dump and how much they'll accept at one time. I think it's
1000 pounds before the bills start. With an S10 pick-up, that's 2 FULL loads.
And, did I mention, working full time? I plan to kick back to about 65 hours a week soon, though.
Thanks, guys.

a) Congrats! Always good to be home. b) a Smidge confused (albeit normal) - did you move *back* to the same house/spot? The "painting the shop" comment made me think so...
