Where Are We Today
The Ridge
It has been
almost a month since my last post, though I know you have been keeping up to
date through Patsy
This summer
is sure different for me, instead of working down in London for CanAm Rv, I am
working for our friend, Mike, who has a renovation construction company. For just
over four weeks now, I have been with 3 or 4 others, working on a reno of the
outside of an old house in Walkerton, Ontario. We have rebuilt a second story
deck, added new vinyl siding, most of the soffit and some of the fascia is done
and almost finished. We have also torn down an old garage which will be
rebuilt.
Rebuilding Second Storey Deck |
I have had my
hand in a little bit of everything, cutting material, putting on siding,
erecting and tearing down scaffolding and any other thing to be helpful.
Apparently,
they are able to teach this old dog what needs to be done and I am enjoying the
work. I will admit that it’s more physical and most days I am wore out and
stiff when I get home, but feel a sense of accomplishment.
This is short
and sweet, thanks for stopping by, until the next time, stay safe and healthy.
It's just so cool you can keep busy, make a little money and learn new stuff. Handy men are SO handy to have around!!
ReplyDeleteIt is cool Nancy, keeping busy, earning some cash and learning new stuff, also being handy for myself.
DeleteGlad you are keeping Safe while earning that sense of accomplishment as you learn new things.
ReplyDeleteYou might consider wearing a Hard Hat rather then paying a Fine from the Ministry.
Lots of the traditional jobs are still closed around here.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Keeping safe is always on my mind, especially at my age. I do enjoy the sense of accomplishment and learning new things.
DeleteWow what a beautiful house that's being redone! Nice that you are learning new things and keep busy and get some$$ for it. The new tool belt Patsy showcased certainly looks good and should be easier on you!
ReplyDeleteYes the house is nice, but needs major work on the inside. The owner rents it out as two separate apartments. This week will be the first time using my new tool belt, sure hoping it makes a big difference to the strain on my lower back.
DeleteGreat exercise to stay young. Take it easy and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug.
