Coilers

Between these shop upgrades and my lack of sailing I may forget entirely how to cook line/cord/hose...

Shed officially complete

Interior finished to reasonable level, exterior paint in the spring but otherwise complete...for now anyway.

More rock

Another 2,000 lbs pulled, moved and placed.

New weather seal and for jamb paint

.... The front door itself will have to wait until spring.

'07 A4 Avant 70k mi oil change

End table

Upper frame spot welded and the rest cut and prepped...progress

Outdoor water like upgrade - part I

Not my most beautiful pipe sweating though now the sprinkler system is isolated and it is stubbed out for a year-round spigot near the garage

e46 M3

Realized I never posted the Porsche replacement photos

Far from beautiful...

...but should seal things.

One white wall

Now all that remains is cleaning everything in the garage from the dust...and organizing...and sorting...and removing. Oh and finish the step refinish. And the concrete patch. Endless.

Welding test project rough version

Mini shelf

More stone...and mulch

3 yards of mulch and 2.5 yards of stone plus the edge rocks. The stone gets heavier every year...probably need a new supplier.

Shed organization

...the many uses of PVC pipe. I may need Lena to make some labels.

Paint complete

A little trim and its on to organization.

Ready for paint...

...or as ready as it is going to be!

More progress...

...I still don't like drywall work.

964 departs

1991 Porsche 911 (964) c2 coupe sold and off to ATL. Great car and great experience all around over the last 4yrs. Lena and Seb are both quite unhappy about the whole situation as they want to keep the Porsche...will work on getting them excited about the next "fun car".

Light!

For the first time in the "shed". 2 GFIC outlets, 2 3-way switches (one at each door) and 4 lights. If only the rest of the house was wired as closely to current code and recommended practices.

Trim completed and electric roughed in

Barn door complete with trim..

...one more piece of trim to go then on to electric.

Gas line re-routing

Now will enter the side of the house as opposed to under porch (non longer to code) and gas meter and vent moved outside. Will free up about 6 ft^2 of basement space too!

Trim nearly complete

Stain removal success!

I may turn into a car detailed yet...well, maybe not any time soon...

Avant wheel caps

Painted and clear coat with silber spray...

More trim

Doesn't look like much though the top piece was a bit of carpentry....nothing is square in an old house
