Time to Make a Clock
If you remember, earlier this week we showed you how we built and installed our floating shelves. Well for 11 years a clock hung in that spot. Jim asked why I kept looking at the shelves. Ha. I was actually looking to see what time it was. Hard habit to break. Time to make a clock.

Building a heat pump shelter
marking the peg Time to start on building this heat pump shelter before the snow starts to fall. Last year was terrible weather for the big fan on the heat pump. The constant snow fall and thawing temperatures meant plenty of ice build up on the heat pump fan. I’ve never done log work like this before so its all new to me. Time to start on the corner posts.

Garage window replacement
Before the repair When I built this garage 7-8 years ago I reused windows from the in-laws large dining room window. I had to make up my own window casings and every other year I’d have to scrape and paint the casings. But, over time the water got in and leaks led to rot and mold. Time to replace them with some solid vinyl windows.
