Work and Ridge Projects

Where Are We Today

Chillin with Patsy has been keeping you up to date on the comings and goings here at the “Ridge”, along with her working at the “Mat and Graceland 2”.
I to have been busy, as Patsy as eluded to each day, I go off to work. If I didn’t mention in my last post, I am working for a friend, Mike’s home Improvements, doing siding, decks and some dry walling. Our work takes place here in Mid-Western Ontario, in the small towns and villages.
The following pictures are some of the jobs we have done or still working on.

This deck we put on the back of a house in the town of Mt. Forest

Of course, someone had to go for a swim.

While you are in there, will you get the baluster that rolled in and sunk to the bottom.

I have also been working on a couple of projects here at the “Ridge”, one was to install a piece of vinyl flooring in my cargo trailer and the second was to have a load of “A” gravel dumped and spread in front of the “Hangar and cargo trailer.


Waiting for glue to set up before laying the back half.

Finished and the planes back in.

Here comes my load of gravel

Now for the hard part



Getting there

Here we are at the end of July, one of the hottest summers in a long time. This part of Ontario is in phase 3 of the covid pandemic reopening. For our American readers, this is where the Ontario government has said that businesses can reopen and under what guide lines. The counties have set guides lines also, mainly the wearing of a mask or face shield when you go into a business. We will remain in phase 3 until a vaccine is developed, unless we have another outbreak.


For those following the Corsair build, I have got a little more done on the fuselage

Hope you are all doing well, thanks for dropping in and until the next time take care, stay safe and healthy.
