The 2nd level, shop storage was to weak, so we stared off on our next task, which was to remake it. We began by removing the stuff stored up there. Then started taking out the insulation and dismantling the old frame. At last we got started on building the new and improved flooring.

The workshop is a mess right now, but the new upper storage reconstruction is progressing very well. 2 new boots showed up today so I’m excited to see how  far progresssed Wheaton labs will be within the next few weeks.

I had a pretty productive Sunday. I helped Robby clear out the drive way, then worked and completed a mallet for a badge bit, all while doing laundry in between.

Today we were back in the shop working on the mezzanine. We relocated the shelf support lumber to the new frames and finished all the unique framing areas. Now we are ready to start the flooring tomorrow. Back at the fisher price house, Fred found a goldmine of ash hidden deep within the rocket mass heater.

The flooring commenced today in the mezzanine/storage area. We had to make a lot of special measurements and cuts that took up lots of time,but at least we got Experience. Back at the house we had poker night on taco Tuesday. And enjoyed lots of huckleberry candy(thanks Jocelyn).
