Can you start the new job earlier?

I start Monday. no biggie. the wife has been working extra hours to help.

have no fear, I am still slowly working on my TTT. The South East Texas Summers are Brutal, and with a heat index today of 103, 45% humidity, and no air movement. I have slowed down working outside. last night I started with body filler over the street side lath's that make the roof to side wall radius. and ended up working on more filler this am till about noon. slowly working from the rear to the front. I am determined to keep some progress going on the build.

I have also made some progress on other areas of the build, but, nothing to wright home about.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the build is not stagnate and progress is going slow because of the summer heat. and helping my parents finish some stuff on their house.

Determined to keep this build going. I made a fixture from some Red Oak 4x4 for the 3~$1 cheap LED flashlights. I just need to wire her up again and find a good location for my wife to have a reading light.

I finally finished doing something with the LED light setup. I decided to make a reading light for my wife. the arm is from my drill press that the LED light burned out on 5 minutes after setting up the Drill Press. it has been in my way for over 4 years.

I spent today hand cutting the perfect pattern to cut the holes for the computer fans in the 3/16" aluminum plate. but, unfortunately the hard board I was using for the router template didn't work out too good for the router to follow.

I had cut out for 3 computer fans. but, the 3rd wasn't moving that much air. so it was left out. the wood frame around the fans will have a foam seal so the fans only draw in fresh air and not recirculate the hot air.



the fans are tied into the same 12v circuit that runs the control panel for the 2 way fridge.

after putting it off for over a month, I decided to make the trim for the sides of the cabinet that houses the fridge. 8 pieces of 1 1/2"x 3/4" #1 pine with a 3/8" x 11/16" rabbit milled.



I have the wood cut for the other side, but I dont have the 1/8" oak ply installed yet. and you can also see I installed another LED light in the ceiling above the shelf on top of the fridge.

This is going to be an awesome build. How's things going? Any recent progress?

[SLUG36]
