This is what i did today besides other stupid stuff. Lathed up quite a bit on that wall and the flashing x3 and some PT for the deck beams and got the base on for the lath. Even though sometimes while lathing i get the feeling that a monkey could do this shit. i really dig doing this kinda shit.
While I was officially a “lather” on wire jobs i was usually the trim guy. I eat this shit up.
Before(right now)

I remember when y9ounger one of my friends snatched a bottle of dandelion wine from somewhere that was tasty....and my neighbor kept bees, and made honey wine. Mead he called it...really tasty and sweet, but I like sweet wines.

LOL headache in a bottle

@raratt will love this one. My hub drank himself stupid on Boone's Farm wine and he crowed to me about what a wonderful wax stripping barfing it turned out to be and how his barracks benefitted from his barfing it :) such was the highlights of military training during the cold war

Oh, don’t want to make myself look lamer than i am. This was also part of today and the beams and columns will be lathed up and trimmed out tomorrow hopefully minus the lids. Hopefully. Nothing ever goes as planned. Got lots of gardening to do early. Gotta bring my truck to the shop blah blah blah.

That is a for sure bro. Can’t wait. Even though my deadline is a year from now. That shit goes quick. I’m also doing all the finishes. On top of all the gardening. Fingers crossed.

pretty much the most expensive time to build a house ever.
Fucking bullshit. Hoping by the time i do the deck shit will settle down because holy fuck. Everything costs bank right now. And the deck is gonna be bank either way

These are a couple shots of the view from the master bedroom right now before it gets dark. Sun sets on the other side.
Keep in mind. I bought here so i don’t burn down again :-(.

The sun setting on the front of house is pretty bad ass too. Just missed it. I’ll post a pic another day of it

My accomplishment for the day is closing on a refinance of my home. I lowered the interest rate substantially, which decreases my monthly payments by $150, while also shortening my loan term by 2 1/2 years. Cash to close was less than one mortgage payment, and I also get to skip one month's payment between the old loan and the new loan. My calculations say this is saving me close to $50k by the time the loan is paid off. If you have been thinking about refinancing now while rates are super low due to covid, don't think any longer, just do it. Rates are already starting to creep back up, I locked my rate in while they were at rock bottom.

Yes, piece of mind from the fires is worth a lot, especially when you've lived it. Never again hopefully!

I can see you sitting out there at the end of the day with your dab rig and a icy beer, or in the a.m. with coffee and a joint :bigjoint: for decades to come.

Where's the hot tub going? :lol: For the back, ya know!!
