So how are the rest of you doing on this yearly issue . I spent most of the day working on that crap . Put 12 ton of gravel in the drive way today , got a few other things done .

Still need to winterize the pickup camper and some leveling work in the camping field . Tore an area up awhile back and have not gotten it finished .

Need to so some work on the rentals homes before its too cold . God its a good thing i retired from the shop , theres no way i have time for work .

Ill get the rear shaft built and in the GMC tonight so i can move it in and out of the shop under its own power again .

I have 9 cars/trucks/jeeps to assemble before the winter is over :pissed:
I hope to accomplish it all but if not, oh well.

after 3 1/2 years, I hope to have mine running over Thanksgiving break. (only now I have the time, parts and money to probably actually pull it off). It was a little more serious build than I should have attempted, but I learned a lot.

Then I have to fix my sled, roof grandpa's garage, find the leak in his house roof...

Playing catch up now after getting working on the blazer most of the summer. Now I have a little time with the WJ. Need to get a hitch put on real soon so I can get some more firewood around. Been meaning to start a garage too.

you better get that done, because I refuse to show up unannounced for the weekend only to stay in a bedroom that hasn't been painted..... :)



I think we are good other than moving the hose reel into the garage. If Santa brings me what I want for an early Christmas present, then we also need to hook up the hot tub, fill it with water and get it HOT before the snow flies. If I am going to be forced to stay in this subtundra climate, then I at least want to soak in hot water outside on occassion............... :)

Finished everything outside on the house that needs to be done. And I pick up a Comanche body tomorrow to start my next 'winter project' but I doubt it'll be done before summer.

There are a lot of things that I just am not going to get done that I would LIKE to get done... gotta work every day and there just isn't enough time. However, I NEED to get done: clean the leaves out of the gutters and finish raking up the leaves around my yard, put the snow tires on my car. That's about it, and I will be doing those things this weekend. Everything else is optional, or can be done during the winter months.
