Replacing the old fence


Pulling the old posts as they were all crooked and out of line, as they went through the concrete slab they did not come up easy.
Impossible without the High-Lift jack
 PVC sleeves over the tarred pressure treated 4x4s
 Progress
Success
Straight and level
 
A couple old sections got re-purposed to hide the old junk pile on the far side of the barn
A new piece between the house and the garage
My domain.



Alden rowing shell resurection



Last fall my brother in law neglected to tie his rowing shell down properly. As he took off the bow came up and slapped down on the front bar of the roof rack folding it in half. I managed to glass it back together last autumn but waited for warmer weather in the spring to paint it. Good old Rustoleum paint never looked so good.
 Wound up wit 6 coats of each color and lots of 400 grit sanding.. amazing what good old Rustoleum paint can look like... to much dust in the shop though and up close you can see the imperfections.
I also built a quick T bar to spread the load better on his car and hopefully preventing any future roof rack mishaps



Rebuilding Joe's runabout

New seats, and new windshield built with PVC electrical conduit for Joe's 1958 14' Lonestar  I did in early June. Also new wiring for the trailer and new light posts.

Four coats of epoxy and Poly-Urethane makes those seats shiny and waterproof

 Made up a PVC electrical conduit windshield frame
Dang smart, if I do say so myself

an assorted mix of 12ga and 20ga black and smokeless, a fine day shattering clays.
