My attic, last inspection required load bearing wall i changed to have extra support. Spent Friday installing a beam over head tied to 6 " joists. Blessed i had air nailer. Went on to install flooring to cover loose insulation. A few more fire blocks and cable to run required outdoor lighting then another inspection Monday. Dry wall, here we go.

Was out under the moon transfering stone and brick to river sculpture. Really wanted to pound in fence posts to support cattle panel arbor. Is 6:30 am to early in the village? These warm days charge me up to work creatively in 610's skirts.
Picture
Figuring it out, need to fashion large rock mover. Need flati-ish block, rock or brick. Going at it with what i have. Going to ask farm neighbors if i can rob stone piles freely.
Before work maybe i can slam a few posts...

I now have a kitchen sink.

Cutting in kitchen sink.
Picture
Ended up purchasing new sink and faucet. The reclaimed double was to big, took up to much space. The faucet came with all the bits and pieces to hook up. I appreciated that! Got a defective one from lowes, now i have to learn how to take a faucet out and replace it. Learned about a special tool, a wrench to get in tight faucet places. Gotta love those tools. Bought a Delta faucet, they have standard replacement parts.
Sink front will be skirted. I can keep recycling, trash , compost, bird seed and dog food under there.
