Went fishing.

MAGA

If you can’t fix it with a hammer, it must be electrical.

I spent the better part of my day inveting a steel doorframe out of steel studs on my shoppette.  Then at HD getting caulk i discovered they sell damaged steel studs at half price and grabbed four at just about a buck each.
    Those became the panel stiffeners for my future doors.  They do not straighten out well but can be made usable.

   It moved forward today because I borrowed an electric drill to set anchors in cement posts.  Hand drilling them would be endless. 

   Only had to stop for running out of materials.

Rewired and re-organized my home office to install some more HAM gear. I collect and run a vintage Heathkit SB - series HAM station.

Mama is updating the kitchen.  We had granite counters put in a few years ago, she has painted and trimmed the walls.  We put up a new range hood last night so she can now start on the back splash.  Once that is done, the only thing left is the flooring which will likely wait till she is done painting the rest of the first floor then the hardwood gets redone and new flooring in the kitchen

I did a day at work then got home to relax.  A paint bubble on the wall turned into a missing patch of stucco.  Just to be irritated by that is too much so I made stucco and patched it back up and painted it. 

Got everything but the supplies and mess picked up before the lady of the house declared bedtime.

    One more wall to prep and if I can make money stretch a full repaint is coming.
