Drawing plans and digging stumps.


Arts and Crafts Lights up and working, Found in an antique shop $160 the pair Probably payed a bit too much but they look perfect in the hall.



Seventy year old Pine is down after a tricky cutting operation notice the cable and pully used to get the tree to fall in the direction we wanted.






Now this is a big stump just like an Iceberg, Hope it don't have a big tap root!




Red oak stump out at last after 6 hours of digging,Cutting, sawing and pulling .















Plans for the new Garage are almost finished I'm going to use some Enginered lumber for the 26 foot long Ridge board and main support beam for the attic floor it's 50% stronger than normal lumber.
