Still just made from left over 2×4’s and the old window panes from the house. Sealed with a good caulking and that should be a big improvement over the old rotted single pane un…

Yeah, pretty happy. They work different days as they are on different crews. We’re not going to get rich, but we never intended to, just offset some costs. We weren’t sure what we would do with the covid situation. We weren’t going to rely on tourism, so a sure thing…

Not trimmed out but they are in. 3 windows and I put some scrap 2×8 between them so they filled the original opening. A bit more to go to pretty it up but it worked out OK for…

Yesterday I installed some balusters to the deck at the rental property. My tenant was worried that her son might fall off the deck.
This morning I just purchased 25 1 x 10 x 10 Rough sawn Pine from the guy I bought the lumber from before. I will go and pick it up on Thursday morning.

@RonW Just lost post in the Truck thread. Thanks!

With a power carver you should be able to carve wood that is already dry. But carving wood that is green is much easier.

Have you checked out any info about GreenWood carving?
