What are you working on this week

I wish someone would put WINTER away. It's cold and nasty .

 

Brrrr, 70+ one day and 36 the next. Yes, am ready for spring also. De grassed two raised beds and added two wheel barrows of manure to each. Two to go and will be ready for plants/seeds. Easter is the 20th and plan on having lots of seeds into the ground the week before--unless they are calling for that "Easter cold snap". Just had to cut a bit more wood as the stack is almost gone. Thought I had plenty for the winter--silly me. Almost time to burn the brush piles.

 

I started hardening off my vegetable starts. I also started another 120 plants in starter trays this morning.

I enlarged and got some compost on my Hugelkultur garden. I'm stepping/terracing it into the side of a hill rather than making it freestanding. I'll be buying some yards of compost after the first to top it off.

I also disassembled my old wheelbarrow and sanded and oiled the wood and sanded the barrow. I need to pick up some lacquer thinner to wipe it down and then I'll prime and paint it. I'm also going to replace the wheel and tire while I'm at it. It's over twenty years old and I want it to outlast me.

 

Got the roof on the Duck / bird barn .
Now I'm under cover , I should have it nicer to work out of the rain. I'll post pix when were done.

 

I receive a lot of run off from the mountain, I have a good culvert dug, and now I am in the process of damning it up. It will allow me to store a large amount of water to be purified if needed. I

Make sure the law allows for it. It is a good idea, but there is a complete section of law about water, and Water Rights.

 

I am a little secluded, and have only been here for 3 years. Since its rainwater and my property, I can always claim it was there when I bought the property. Thank you for the heads up though, I will look into it just to be sure (big brother) doesn't come after me for it. After all, non of us truly own our properties!

 

Not really house related but it is activity happening on my property.

Finally finished building my SBC 400 and got the front clip off the K5 Blazer. Gonna clean up the frame, wiring and a few other things while the front clip is off before installing the engine.

I could resist adding another project before finishing my Blazer. A few days ago I bought a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee in need of some repairs/mechanics special. Hopefully, I figured out what all is special about it prior to purchase.

 

That's clever YD.

 

I like this idea a lot!... good stuff @Yard Dart :0)

 

Nice idea YD.

 

I finally got around to trying to make some can holders/rotaters this weekend. After making about every mistake possible, I got one done. WOOHOO! Made it out of some 1/16" paneling and some 3/4 X 1" pine. The rest should be a lot easier. They work like the soup holders at the store.

1960 Ford Falcon, 144 Cu. In. 6 cylinder with 3 speed manual transmission.
It got 30 mpg back in it's day. 55 years later, auto manufacturers brag when their cars get 30 mpg.
It doesn't need a technician to maintain or repair it either!

 

Nice. You're a man of many parts.
