Bob's caboose build

[bobhenry]

The caboose is getting a new look. trim will hopefully be a root beer brown this weekend



I have all the cement board in on the bath wall for ceramic tile



The last of the Led recessed lighting is now installed .....



I have gotten the carpet installed in the office area...



All the heat was stratifying in the cupalo so the tiffany light came down and a ceiling fan was installed



I got carried away and even cleaned the garden window



Just to keep my king of cheap crown ..... You might remember the garden window was $10.00 the fan I found at a yard sale this July for $5.00 The carpet was free from the 3 monster new rolls given to me at the hotel we were harvesting all the furniture they were about to throw out. ( P.S. Last month I sold the 3 rolls for 100.00 each ) The LED lights were donated to Goodwill from Duke energy and Goodwill was selling them for $4.00 each. The cement board was free from a fellow hoarder. And the 2 gallons of paint were mis-blended paint at ACE hardware for $8.00 each I forgot to get pictures of the two movable eyeball recessed light. I got them this summer at a yard sale for $5.00 each. If my math is correct that's about $49.00 spent But if you factor in the sale of the carpet I made $251.00

I LOVE FREE ( and cheap is good too) !

Very nice! The ceiling fan will be a big help, winter and summer, I'm sure.

Do you still have the house-in-a-house available to you? I've lost track of that project.

Thought I hadn't noticed you at the PRA meetings. (to those of you that aren't familiar with it, that's the meeting where they make you stand up and say "Hi, my name it Bob, I'm a pack rat"
(and notice, I'm at the meeting too )

[godskid]

Oh! I'll have to sign up for that Pack Rats group. As soon as I finish the membership form for the Procrastinators Club.

Ya, I've been putting that membership off myself.....

Actually getting around to requesting the membership form means you did not demonstrate acceptable procrastination skills and you are likely ineligible. I am SURE the membership committee will consider this the next time they meet... <crickets chirping>

[bobhenry]

HEY WHIT ! I am headed your way in about ten days hope to stop by if time permits. I just finished watching your brilliant production on dutch oven cooking and am still so damn proud of our effort , thanks again !

ANYONE REMEMBER FAR ENOGHT BACK WHEN I WAS FINED AND RAN OUT OF FRANKFORT, IN FOR PLACING MY TINY CABOOSE ON MY PROPERTY ????


Well last week I had to visit my lockbox at the bank so I passed by the property.

Seems that while I can not live on my own property and care for it it is OK to make it into a hobo camp. Junk tires and crap all over. I was really pissed when I found my now 10" maple trees were cut down for campfire wood.

[godskid]

Yeah, I remember that. Grrrrr!

PS newly painted little house looks GREAT!

I would have loaded up all resellable items item in that mess. Then burnt the rest. Then posted no trespassing sign's.

[bobhenry]

Two out of 3 done. I now have a nice axe, shovel,hoe,garden rake, leaf rake and mallet added to my tool collection and the signs are up and the driveway chained.



Ass holes !
