Oh no... this look (with this smile) can only mean one thing.... my dear hubby has a building project... uuugghhhh. One thing about "my Ed".. he loves to build things, and really he hasn't a "good big project" since we did the house... but now he's onto one..
The garage. Because our garage is attached to our house, fire codes say that it must be sheet rocked. Until now, even though we have this great space.. our cars have lived outside. Which come winter, when you are pushing inches of snow off your car and scraping ice off the windows... it has been very frustrating to see this garage and know you can't have the cars inside....
so, when the truck arrived with piles of sheet rock, I'm not sure if I was happy to see them or what.... (I still have "sheet rock memories of the house!!!)
But this time, I must admit.. we hired it done. Ed "hates" to spend money on projects he can do himself.. but we really wanted the garage usable this winter.. and it's such a big job, it was wiser to have it done by the professionals....
We have been working at it and made good progress, but when the crew arrived, they had it done in days... and personally, not having to insulate the rest of it was fine by me.
Up went the sheet rock, on went the paint and... they were done!!!! Now, Ed only has to put a finish coat of paint on the walls, and then he can have his fun... decorating his "space"... (and I will have a car that will be free of snow this winter!!!)
Course, you always know that project one will lead to project two... and now the driveway and area is the next focus. Because of the lay of the land, the drive drops off too quickly, so fill has been brought in to "bring it up". Which also means the furnace must come up to grade...
And though our tent building worked well for the wood last winter... it won't make it threw another. The top is very thin and has several small rips, one good heavy snow will be the last of it. So, it's coming down and Ed hopes ---no has to --- get a wood shed built this fall....
We moved the wood that was left from last winter....and got the tent building down. Now the furnace will be raised, the fill spread out, and onto the rest... hopefully finished before the snow flies... is it ever completely "done" when it comes to a farm???
