Don't need my life to be more exciting, get plenty of that with every day stuff.
First, we'll start with the shop - got the fire stops and the cross board installed on the back wall . . .

My trip - was about an hour away where a guy closed down his shop and had an old 1920 bandsaw for sale
( actually 2 of them ) . . . And they will be coming to my shop - 1 to rebuild and keep, 1 to sell . . .
( you can see the table of the 2nd saw in the left of the picture . . . )

That means - time to start moving forward . . . by moving backwards . . . go figure . . .
Pull off the last 2 sections of roofing panels on this lean to section to work on the rear overhang, now that the back
wall has been framed up and is in place . . . and all the trimming . . .

By that, there is a lot of blocking that needs to be added to fill in the gaps . . . On the right - it's all filled in and
on the left . . . next in line for getting blocked in . . .

calling for 80 degrees tomorrow . . . hope to make some progress on the shop . . .

It could be a secret time-travel portal to another galaxy.....So… you’re going to keep us guessing on that rounded part of your foundation? I’m still thinking… machine gun turret. Fireplace?
