Cool sounds like a nice way to live. Must also be nice in the summer though to have a break from processing the wood? Attaches you more to the seasons I guess?

What should have been a simple fall clean up turned into a lawnmower rescue mission from hell. Spent a good hour wrestling with it in the mud but managed to get it out.
-
@flannel-slut what in all holy hell happened!!?
-
@Mizmazzle I haven’t been able to mow a patch for a couple months now because it’s been such a wet year. Welp, I was hell bent in getting it cut before the winter and it sank and sank.
should start my own “working harder not smarter in your workwear” thread

@flannel-slut haha. That’s what I like about you, man…you aren’t scared to jump in and get dirty on a project!! How’s that bathroom coming along?
-
@Mizmazzle Lol thanks bud. Still wout tile! Been waiting the past month for it to arrive. It’s our second bathroom so we are getting by but mrs flannel slut (she would kill me) is getting less patient by the minute 🥶

@flannel-slut oh shit man!! I’m good for about 1.25 stories and my knees are buckling. It’s time to hang Christmas lights too this weekend!! I bet these lefty truckers could break a fall pretty nicely

@Mizmazzle
how did I not consider the Lefty and it’s fall protection properties? -

I was supposed to be off today, but a contractor friend asked (begged) me to fix someone else’s mistakes on cabinet hardware install. Previous contractor got booted off a job for bs work. The cabinets had so much deep scratches that were covered by some off pigment nail polish. Had to pre-drill (& fill in/fix drilled holes that were in the wrong place & crooked), install shelving & hang several unhung cab doors w/ hardware I had to source bc it was taken from the site, & align cab doors (prev. Contractors said it wasn’t possible for the cab doors to be straight bc her walls were crooked & they get delivered already aligned
(wtf they have adjustments) , & actually cleaned up before leaving so she can fill her new kitchen with pans and utensils. On a side note, had to taking my work home as I needed to cut back majority of the machine screws to fit the handles (didn’t have my tools w/me) some were even installed too long so very loose & odd spacing with the handle & cabinetry 
. Idk but it was an absolute joke & nightmare. The client was horrible to me in the beginning, but after seeing me fix a few of her worries early on, was thrilled with my work and was nice afterwards. She was basically breathing down my neck for the first 2 hrs, but I don’t blame her. F the previous contractors. After a few short hrs correcting things she was thrilled at the end results even before her kitchen was completed.Not cool, esp. since this is the 3rd home dealing with a mean ass client. F those contractors who ruin it for those who know what theyre doing, & for the clients - lesson learned. Don’t ever settle for the cheap assholes who are going to steal your money! & most certainly don’t judge someone cuz they look 12!

Good shit Rox, nothing like taking pride in your own work
-
I have a bunch of chainsaw work this week limbing trees, so I best start at the beginning…
-
Dang, @RoxRocks86. Sounds like you had your work cut out for you on this one! I hope that the client was properly grateful when she realized you got the job done right.

This morning my son and I assembled a couple of new wheelbarrows. It was a good day on so many levels ~
