Made some headway in a couple of areas. The tools and greasy rags etc remaining from the Scout's recent attention were pitched or cleaned and put away. I have verified that I still have several work benches in the shop. Previously they were all buried and hidden. A tad more to do in that area and then I need to add more hanging racks for things like conduit, long lumber and such. You may well ask "why would I inventory such stuff?" Well. . . I don't intend to, it just sort of happens and mostly I'm glad to have something to work with but the occasion doesn't arise as often as it once did. That is NOT because I have everything done either. (chuckle) I just don't do as much. An example- I wanted some Redwood benderboard (1/4" thick x 4" x 8' to go at the base of the fence (on the neighboring side) out in front. I found some and could get it for .99 each. I have since used it as I expected AND built a 2' by 20' solid fence with it for a space under the regular fence in the back yard area. I still have 10 or 12 pieces and I still have projects in mind that can use it. Remember .99 each. Less than 1/2 the usual cost! I have a small collection of leftover 2x4's, 2x3's and some 3/4 conduit from previous projects - Hanging along a wall is about the only way I can keep that kind of stuff and still "mentally inventory" it. "mentally inventory" means remember I have some. Ha Ha Ha The 3/4" conduit I've kept and used for temporary shade structures for years. With the addition of temporary carports the need has diminished and fortunately so has the inventory. Some are now used as trellises for small plants and some have been cut and used for all manner of things some actually was used for wiring - it's original intended use. Imagine That!I'm not sure I CAN, it wasn't recently. (chuckle)
With it being Fall according to the calendar and the sun setting I used about 1000 watts of electricity while arriving at a point where I was ready to knock off. This "evening" stuff is all new to me. I've been a start early and quite when the sun went down or it's done type. NOW though it's start whenever and continue till, Well NOW. Whatever that means or when it is. Not so inside- inside it altogether a different issue. Inside gets a little lonesome yet, outside well it's different- it's always been my domain. How that plays out- I'm too tired, sweaty and etc to handle right now. A shower and a book will probably be a VERY temporary and limited event tonight.
