Creeker's Past Week's Accomplishments
13 Mar 2023
Greetings,
No real shop time this past week due to work, stuff needing to get done around the house and I finally decided it was time to get away from work for an entire weekend....for the 1st time in almost 20 years, I had a full weekend of doing nothing but relaxing, watching a movie or two and thinking about projects I need to finish. IMHO, it's amazing at how expensive things have gotten in my world of woodworking. Makes one wonder how people can afford to even get started in woodworking now days. Spent some time helping The LOML with her MS Excel and MS Access college homework. Good thing that I've got about 40 years in the I.T. industry from operations to programming to sys-admin work, networking, and various operating systems and storage. I'm ready to retire from IT work.....Maybe this time next year, I'll look at what it will look like for retirement.
That's it for me, so what did YOU do this past week?
Best of weeks to you all!
Work Week at the Back Bay Mission in Biloxi, MS
I am down in Biloxi,MS at the Back Bay Mission with our Church for Spring Break. We have done some maintanence on the Campus, painting, Replacing Ceiling tiles that were wrecked during some roof leaks, one crew rebuilt the Ramp to the Homeless Day Center. Today we finished up on the campus and went over to the House we are rehabing for one of the local families. the siding was removed by a College Group from MI and we are putting up new sheathing. When that is done we are siding with Hardie Board. When we pulled off the siding we found several Sill timbers were rotted and termites. :eek: Jacking up the house and taking out the bad Sill sections and replacing them, adding an additional Pier support. We replaced the family's Water Heater and got it hooked up yet today before leaving for the night. We have 1.5 days left before heading back up to to WI.
