Haven't cut any wood since the tree top fell on my cab 3 weeks ago. Wife said it was time to redo the kitchen before I killed myself. Wanted it nice for the wake party I guess. New electrical, new counter tops, new sink and taps and new ceramic tile back splash. Just finished it tonight so hopefully heading to the bush or a wood pile tomorrow. She wants the flooring done too but not doing it until fall at least. I suggested live edge for the counter tops from my sawmill but she said no way, hates live edge. Also had the flu for 3 weeks and it's been knocking the hell out of me. Wife's Uncle died on Tuesday from flu complications, old fella but flu none the less.

Sometimes its nice to not have somebody telling me I need to redo the kitchen...

woodchip, I spent 2 years building my shop so had to even it out a bit. She wanted the shop more than I did though. $4000 in materials for the kitchen so far, we did all the work ourselves so no labor, just like cutting firewood. I'm planning a sawmill shed so I need to get some brownie points stored up.

Busy day, just in for a bite to eat then hit the water and see if I can feed some fish . Got oil on both paddles. Some tweaking to do, but overall happy to get them wet next weekend and see if they actually work. Quite a bit of experimenting of the shapes has gone on, so how they paddle is anyones guess.

They look great! I wish I could make stuff like that but my skill set tends more towards destruction, which is rather easier than creation.

Thanks. Destruction is an underrated skill. Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Thanks I was just gona put fuel lines and filter in, try widening the ports and be happy. Now you've pointed me to a thread with 40+ pages of ideas. If it dies a horrible death I'm out the cost of some fuel line
