      The retaining wall is all but finished. Just need to take a stone cutter to some top blocks to take them round the corners.

      Next step is 60m2 of deck. Starts tomorrow.

      Here's my 68 that has been my work shirt for the past couple of seasons. Elbow blow out is imminent:

      Well done Neph.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

            My 817 suffered a laceration to the outside of the right calf, last week. Some stitches will be required. Until then, I opted to put the UHR back to work…

                I'm looking forward to the day when my UHR become work jeans. That denim drops indigo if you show it a picture of an abrasive surface.

                  Dunno if you can call this hard labor, but continuing the stripping process of shellac from the stairs. Almost 1/2 way done….can see untouched on he left and stripped to the right. Thank God for acetone and MEK

                    Here you can see the vast difference once stripped. Some spots are easy, some are caked on and cracked badly. This hoise was never kept up with much, if at all. That includes about 4 generations I believe…..

                      That's a tough job, without a doubt. Satisfying results though.

                        Besides tons of sweating, the only time I'd say tough was last night. Hunched over the rail cleaning that area for about an hour to hour and half with my back screaming in pain. Going back at it later after installing a new window upstairs.

                                      This denim has aged marvelously for only ten months. They get better everyday…

                                        Mine became workwear sooner than I had planned. After the initial soak, I followed instruction, and gave them a machine wash. Unfortunately, I neglected to change the water level setting on my top loader. The agitator had its way with them. They were covered in slashes of missing indigo. I figured some time at work would help. It did. The marks are far less noticeable, now.

                                        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                                          As promised here are some photos of what I do. Unfortunately it was 90+ degrees, I wore Wranglers. I'll grab a selfie in one of the pairs I wore later and post it here.
