Re: What other projects do you have right now?

I'm starting to feel like Bob Villa
1) Refinishing wood stairs, all sanded, just waiting for finish
2) Installing an elevator-mostly done, goes up/down on demand, stops where it should, but needs a lot of finishing on the car-read as needs a car.(got it cheap on craigslist threw it in the house-why not?)
3) Building cabinet to go under aquarium. Also only needs stain.
4) Repairing rot around house. Wood siding on plywood sheathing on wood frame. In Florida. This is a losing battle.
5) Repair water damaged garage ceiling.
6) Regrout bathroom floor-house seems to have settled a little after dropping in the elevator(other side of bathroom wall), and the grout didn't seem to take it too well
7) Paint and trim out bathroom
8) Hunt down my free time-I cant find out where it's going for the life of me
I'm sure there's more to it, a garage needs cleaning, a driveway needs pressure washing, a pot rack needs hanging, a living rooms needs paint, but really I think I'm covered for now.
Edit to add: this is the first time Ive actually seen my list, I've always been too scared to write it down. Good thing for a young spine that can take this kind of abuse.

My main project now since I finished my boat last season is cleaning out my shop . I am painting the floor,building shelfs and making room to bring my 64 fairlane back in so I can finish it up this summer. My goal is to use it to pull my boat which is a 1960. My boat will be correct for the car and visa versa.

Ya gonna drop a 427 Y-block in there and make it a T-bolt? That'd pull yer boat!

As for me and other projects? I?ve been a busy boy over the last few weeks after the weather finally broke.

Got the garden area figured out and set up.
Picked up a load of free mulch/compost from the county landfill.
Bought a small load of topsoil to add to the garden.
Laid out the plot.
Put down landscaping cloth.
Added wirecloth. Pretty much armor plated now!
Mixed & added compost & topsoil.
Transplanted some store-bought tomatoes and peppers.
Sowed some corn kernels leftover from last year. Wow, did that take off!
Sowed some pepper and onion seeds from last year too, but they aren?t taking off like the corn.

From this morning:

More stuff I?ve been doing?
Been using my ?little mule? (Ford 1210 tractor) working on the ?back 40? at my place. Still lots to do, but plenty of progress made!

Discovered a dead turkey oak that I?ll have to take down.

Re: What other projects do you have right now?

OH! As for boating? I finally got around to replacing the starter on my outboard with the starter from the donor motor I picked up over the winter. I hadn?t even pulled the cowling off the donor and when I did so last week, I discovered that there was NO STARTER with the donor motor! D?oh! Oh well, for fittybux, I won?t complain. Just wish I?d actually looked under the hood before I made the purchase. So, I still have no starter! Duh. LOL

And the BEST thing that I?ve been up to over the last few weeks? made up with my girlfriend! I helped her take all her ex-boyfriend?s stuff from her house down to his mother?s place and that dude is gone for good. I guess she got the message when I booted her out a month ago. I?m taking it slow and easy in the reconciliation, but things are going well so far.
