Slowly but surely...

Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Slowly but surely...

(and don't call me Shirley...ok, I digress)

I got my bulkhead cabinet face frame all glued up and I wanted to see how it looked. So I set my sides up and slid the face frame in along with the sheet for the back wall. It was the first time to see how the size of the interior will feel. I think I made it tyoo high and the doors too tall but I'm 6'3" and I like space. Granted, it's just temporary on the garage floor (trailer still in storage until ready) but it's exciting to see it slowly come together. I have some more work to do before I finally set the sides on the trailer but it's enough to keep me going for now.

It gets Cindi's stamp of approval!

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

That "mirror image" Aggie print kind of backs up a lot of the Aggie jokes I have heard over the years......... :rofl: :rofl2: :rofl2:

By my sig, you might pick up that I have some insight (and the same blanket.) The reverse side - maroon background and white logo - is correct, but it is more fun to leave the white side up.

More Aggies, AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....





That said, I'm not an Aggie, but married one as fast as I could.
Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".
