door number two...

Lots of stretching, no heavy lifting, and the back is getting back to normal.  The plan is to get it back to better than the old normal so this kind of physical event won't slow me down again.  I don't seem to be getting any younger and time seems to be going by rather quickly.

Plugged away for 4 hours this morning getting the second west end door built and hung.  Had to tweak the frame a bit to square it off nice'n'neat.  A bit of cutting and pasting and I snugged it into place.  95,102,68,0,B

    JW - your greenhouse is a thing of beauty :-)

    Question - what was the reason you angled the clear section slightly away from mid-line?

    is snugging it into place a 2-1/2 lb machinist hammer, or a 16 pound sledge?

    Just wondering

    Good to hear your back is better. Maybe enlighten/remind your readers what your overall vision is for your compound. Will the entire interior be concrete pavers? What is the purposes of the two posts on the outside of the compound. Where will the greenhouse be located?

    Nice pics of the door work. Looked a second time and noticed the rabbit in the foreground of one pic.

    Only 102F there? I'd trade you... it was 108F in Okla City yesterday!

    John ~ Healing the back takes a little knowledge. I found this site where someone has done all the research and put in laymen's terms. Use it. It will help get you where you want to be and your fine work can continue painfree.
