OK... I'm way behind on this one, promised wife this about 2 years ago.. so... what better way to get away from mung season, and the summer doldrums :doh:

I am going fishing again, before fall run, and during... just need to get that cookie jar refilled a bit.. and then the pressure will be on to re-open plug room...

Basement getting organized, and cut in half... had the first yard sale, did the many dump runs, then crammed everything over onto "my side"...

What I do an my days off... for a while....

insulate and frame

my side :doh:

Got to be careful Karl. Your side will turn into storage for her "stuff" now that her side is all nice and neat. Don't ask me how I know about these things :doh: :D

Geez, there's no grass growin under your feet.:doh: Your really crankin along there Karl.:hihi:

Reminds me of the little ambitious kid next door. Walked by his fathers

station wagon one day and he was in there painting the inside of the car

with a brush and a gallon of white paint. I said hey Ronnie what are ya doin?

He says,"i'm paintin the car, next i paint the house.:laughs: No lie.:doh:

Not Done, done yet VB... ;)
Many, Many thanks to my buddy Mike for all his efforts, sure is nice to know a guy who does this every day, as a framer, I make a helluva beer salesman.

I get to play with wires next :hf1: :err: :spin: :hf1:

I've got the back side (shop side, or as it is called around here, "Your side" ) of the wall covered with some project board... looks pretty good... might have to cover them walls.. but.. all I want to do is go back in there, organize, and set up for plug building again..... :wid:

Ah sheetock. I pulled down and replaced every piece of rock in my house several years ago. I did all the work myself demo and finish. That was enough for a life time. Hope never to do it again. Looks good Karl

where is the water Karl ? lol
l@@ks good

Lookin awesome Karl.:kewl: Yup, i see your usin that new extra, extra heavy wallboard,:hihi:,that stuff is at least twice as heavy as it was just a few years ago. :rotf2:

Karl....when I moved into my then new house in "80" my wife and I had an agreement. She got the first and second floor and the cellar was mine. And its still that way.

Ah Karl if my wife ever saw those pictures she would be all over my ass to do the same thing and you know I ain't got that kinda time what with fishin and all. Jeez why did you have to go and do something like that for? Jeez, double jeez. Pics like that make me feel giulty. She has been after me for years to do that. Jeez, I gotta go fishin and shake off the guilt now. Kripes sakes, Jeez!!!!

Looks great Karl :btu:

Do you have the stair parts yet? carpet or wood on the steps?

Thanks Slip, yeah stairs are done, (wood, cut my risers, and stuff today, and installed). I'll post a pic tomorrow, just in from Lowell, looooong night, but another win for the kids team :D

Flap, sorry, but, in a way it's all your fault ;)... I had to do something while I was waiting for you to call about that boat ride, Aug, Sept, Oct..... no call :huh:
;)... had to do something to pass the time :D
fishing, yeah, got some of that in too... :)

I know what you mean Karl but I have not been out in my boat since early September. Fishing for me sucked this year ( cept for tuna but it ain't my boat). It ain't ova yet but I hear someone singing very softly. The weather sure hasn't cooperated. Just when it looked like it could get good on the beach, wham, 8 days of wind , rain and run-off. Oh well there still is a little time.

I hear ya Flap, I've had a couple of "good nights", :D and chased a lot of skunks.

Slip, here's the stairs, nothings "finished yet, might end up with a runner, will decide later. That funky closet door under the stairs, and the little doorway near the chimney cleanouts... thinking of getting some WP4 and building them outta that... what U think :huh:

WP4? what's that?

Ya I see it's not finished, you need ballisters and railings for both sides.

Why no skirt boards?

You've been busy I can tell.

time to fish

Gonna go with a K.I.S.S. approach, as open a look as possible. I wanted to wall straight up, enclosed staircase, but was vetoed by the boss, she wants the open look, so that's, that.

Back to work, vaca over, so it will be catch as catch can for a while. Probably poke along with mud and tape now, as time allows. Still soccer season, and post season playoffs coming soon, :btu: and I got a couple more trips down the sand to do, I hope.
