After resting up from five sleepless nights in Atlanta, I got a little done today!

Image
Under this pile of clamps is the counter top, and the lower cabinet framing!! :lol: :lol:
I'll get a better shot tomorrow, when I take them off!
I'll start the doors in between work on another project.
I'm wondering if I'll have her ready for the NYS Tearjerkers meet, first weekend in June.. :(
Like Gage says...
Remember 'Teardrop Time'.......Take your time, you don't have to have it finished NOW.

I got the roof wired, insulated and skinned.
Here's some shots, More on my site!

Thanks!
Test one, just 'cause I'm over fifty...five! :roll:

Test two, I don't sleep well..looking into sleep disorders.

Nothing life-threatening just time consuming!
Thanks for your concern. I was just whining about not gettin' enough time in the shop! :lol:

I'm not giving up 'til the last minute!!
Ray may be coming out for a 'glassing "lesson" :lol:
Things have a way of suddenly getting done!
I made a list Friday, and I'm already done with 5 items..but the list is 20 or so!! :shock: That's just "camp-able"!
I'll give you a call after this weekend. I'll have a clearer picture of things then. Thanks!
