    Things are clipping along here, good for you.

    I am going to look at 2 parcels tomorrow afternoon, but still in litigation with the water district over my front encroachment. There's a 104 acre parcel that I'm interested in to keep undeveloped. Developing on it would be a last resort, if I can't get a settlement on my current property. Only about 30 minutes from my property, so I would plan to keep it undeveloped if I decide to buy. I'm living in a small In-Law quarters about 1/2 mile from my property. Looking for property I could hunt on.

    I have all of our furniture moved in my shop, and have 5 cars/trucks moved up here, only 2 left in Morgan Hill...my life has been turned upside down...:oops:

    Today was one of those days. I woke up early with good intentions and everything went down hill after that. I achieved absolurtley nothing after 12 hours of laboring. Maybe tomorrow it will be more productive.

    Mainly working on inside stuff. Bricked the fireplace.

    Just waiting on the counter top guys to install the hearth. I have to wait until we do all of the counters at one time, so they can do it all in one trip.

    I am almost down to just the kitchen. I saved the kitchen for last, hoping that maybe my skills will improve, since the kitchen is the most visible.

    A sneak peek of the freight elevator. @NoSurf has been advising me on what not to do. He’s one of those engineer types….with the pocket protector and big brain.

    More to come on this later.

    I spent a couple of hours trying to organize a little. I had some pipe left over from the make shift closet I had in the Black Plastic Wigwam (TM), so I decided to fab up a clamp bar. Juat some flange plates and some 3/4" gas pipe.I have no idea where all my clamps are. They are in a box somewhere. These clamps are all ones that I have bought out of frustration.
