What are you working on this week

Gutters and downspouts cleaned, memory sticks found and installed, now to reassemble the computer and see if maxing the memory helped.

 

It has been just to cold for this winter to do anything , when the weather breaks I will be off and running.
I will be attempting to build my new home, old one didn't work out with the wife. She didn't see fit I should live there a year or so back .
I am now hating the house trailer I rent ( do not know how people live in them and find them ok , it has to be out of necessity.
I will also be build a second tire structured building 40x40 for a storage space . And with any luck I can build both with the approval and blessing of my new half.

 

More things we shall be working on this year.
Food storage. I have the means to grow my own but.... I find that durring the season I can buy things cheaper from the amish pthen the effort needed to grow my own .

500 lbs of potatoes
#25 large bags green beans
6 bags peas
15# boxes of tomatoes.

Then we will do some slaughtering of cattle, deer, goat, chicken and make some stews along with some smoking, salting for long term storage.
Maybe 40-50 quarts of peach, apple,pear jams, jellies and then do sim air dried chips.
You hardcore (prepared for anything guys) know how important it is to have the significant other involved and the pains if she is not interested.

 

when it comes to building a shope or storage space out of tires u dont ask for permission u just do it and tell her to zip it up this is man turf !!! grow a set and stand your ground!!!
Thats good advice!!!!

 

Good advice indeed but I was having fun with the permission stuff. I got rid of the last lady in my life who said no, this woman is a 12 year marine....... She love to do anything like this , I was having some fun, didn't mean to be taken so literal .

And before it gets hit on the last wife thought her opinion mattered enough that she started griping and I seen her feeling so I maned up and spent close to a year and 200k on the settlement to get rid of that mess, I never have been so happy about my hobbies , new current wife is worse then " the guys" if I ask she is he++ yeah let's go.... Pure happyness. I would go to war with her any day.

 

Slain /slush and crap has hit me , so the logging & the mill work is off . Back on the wizzbang feather plucker .

Feb 27th
Pulled 180 chicken plucking fingers ..

 

@xls you are a fortunate soul indeed!! A Marine for a wife...

 

Worked out a deal with a friend to get a Nice stick (Rem 700 VSSF .308 with a Vortex Viper 4-16x50) for the wife so I can have mine back. Waiting for crap weather to pass.

 

Getting my garden in place, biggest thing right now. Wont be long and the plants will be in the soil.

 

Getting garden stuff in order and taking out more tree's. Gonna be a while before planting season but should have a good start in a friend's greenhouse.

 

Moving freakin dirt from here to there. Leveling a pad area for parking a large RV next to the carport of the new house. I also have to put in a waste water discharge line to tie in with my septic system as well. The rain here is not making it easy. Damn glad to be done cutting trees down for awhile though I'll tell you.

 

Fun for the weekend....
I am currently putting together my wife and I kayaks for a weekend on the water. Time for some relaxing fun here. 60 miles of water and nature, I just hope that nature is ready for us.

 

I got the garden turned after saying there was no need to do so. A person can never have enough food.

I plan to use a couple of old fiberglass boat hulls(4) to create a makeshift cellar.

 

How the HELL is that an option or possible / possibility ???( link to known facts) let me in the Knowledge. I need help , mine is a total lip yank , can't read a tape measure , but talks like a foreman on issues . WTF, wear WCB boots !!!

~~~~~~~~~~
Edit this was a joke , My wife can't read the lines on a tape measure , but just rolls of a reading in fractions , From NOW on she gets the dumb end. And wear ladder boots not rubber slip-ons .. After a few bad cuts & frustration , you read it. So I took it as xls has a kit that he has with building a wife " Some Assembly Is Required" , I have my 5mm allen

 

Well, I have got the new larger 38 ft. RV moved to the location I was working on. I have power hooked up to it. I have my new septic tie in line trenched in and tied to the septic tank, as well as stubbed up next to the RV discharge connection (3 to 4 ft. away). I have that hooked up. I have run a potable water line extension about 50 of 85 ft. and will tie it in to the cold water supply for house, and to RV (final connection via a proper potable water RV hose) by close of business today, or maybe first thing tomorrow. I still need to dabble with DSL/phone, and TV antenna hook ups.
