Greetings,
It's been a busy week here. Working at the day job, working on the yard, garden, and I did get the island top finished for a customer of mine but I am unable to deliver it until they have an "all clear" due to a covid exposure. This coming week I start a porch swing that will be a twin size bed porch swing for a repeat customer of mine. Saturday, I picked up a full trailer load of air dried lumber from a local guy for $440 and my estimate is that I got about 700 Bd Ft of lumber, all hardwood, white oak, red oak, chestnut, cherry, maple, and walnut. So...I say I got a good deal on the wood. He got it from his grandfather who had it in his shop for several years, then he had it all stacked in his garage for 2 years. So it's dry and ready for use.
It's hot, humid and the time of year that I greatly dislike because it's crazy hot in my shop this time of year! This week, my #2 son will close on his 1st home and he already has a few things that he wants me to help him with on repairs on this house he's buying....I'm happy that he asked me to help him and I love doing that type of work in wood but I just don't do so well in the heat any more. :)
That's it for me, so what did YOU do this past week?
Best of weeks to you all!!
