- The wood shed is coming along nicely. I have the frame built and the floor on. Tomorrow I finish everything but the doors.
- Shopping list for the shed:
- 6 x 8 foot 4×4 posts
- 4 x 10 foot 2×4’s
- 2 x 8 foot 2×4’s
- 31 x 8 foot 2×6’s
- 5 bags of gravel for drainage under the shed
- Decking screws
- Lag screws
- 6 pack of beer
- 3 bandaids
- 1 pair of tweezers
- I got all that on one cart in Lowe’s. It took every ounce of oomph I had to get it moving once I was loaded up, but I did it.
- Should I have done it in two trips? Probably. But why not take the opportunity to practice my Sisyphus imitation?
- That may not sound like much, but I could have bought an M-1 Garand at CMP for what I spent on lumber today.
- Being responsible sucks
- The number for the day is 27. That’s the number of trips it took from my truck to the back of the property to get everything back where I needed it.
- Girlie Bear had gone to the mall by the time I got home from the lumber yard and Irish Woman was packing up to go visit her aunt.
- There’s something kind of nice to come into the house after working outside all day and smell turkey and stuffing cooking.
- Boo term of the day – “popcorn store” – noun – The place where mom and dad take him to eat popcorn in the dark while someone plays a movie on the wall.
- We’re watching “Brave”, and I have to say that I object to the manner in which it portrays grumpy male bears.

/ November 24, 2012For an extra $100 you can get a beer fridge and some probably-not-infected furniture and make that woodshed a man-cave.
