# 1 Spring Project

[getut]

Ughh.. tear out and reinstall the ductwork under our "new to us" 20 year old house.

I would have hung the people that did that shoddy job. It isn't flex, it is galvanized stove pipe that has been hand insulated for all the final runs to the registers. Where they meet the trunk lines there are gaps I can get my fist in in places. There was a trunk without an end cap and no signs of ever having one. The trunk lines even need replacing unless I can it go back together where the horizontal portion ties into the air handling unit in the house.

That is my biggest project but also... backfill the dirt floored barn to stop water from running in, new handrails and steps on the deck that is otherwise in good shape.

I'm gonna be a busy puppy.

I really need to finish one or two of my already started projects, but that's never stoped me from starting a new one.

My next big project will be a fishing lake. I'm hoping for five acres, but it's so thick and swampy that I have to wait until it dries up some.

Is it a "project" if you have to do it?

1) Move couple hundred yards of dirt to get drainage right, deck, and barn floors built up and level-ish.

2) Seed lawn

3) ditch 350' drive

4) Finish cleaning up behind the dozer guy, and dead falls

5)brush hog 2+/- acres of mixed scrub

6)deck?

7)barn?

8)wife's fence.

9)continue working 6 days a week for dollars for 1-8.

Perhaps I should have emigrated to a planet with 36 hour days?

Farm restoration. The house, the barn, the outbuildings all six of them, and then the acreage.
I just cannot seem to focus on what is important. So I went back to the basics.
Shelter.
Water.
Heating and Cooling.

1. Build a pole barn to park my tractor under on my land, or aquire a 40ft container to put all my stuff in. I've been pricing from several dealers and prices average about 2100.00 plus 300.00 delivery.

2. Finish redoing this 1977 30ft RV and haul it over so I will have a place to stay when I go over there. Renting cabins and motel rooms is getting expensive and old!

3. Start cleaning out the deadfall and brush around my creek.

4. Start fencing in my land.

5. Do some crappie fishing! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

6. Get my Hobie cat ready so I can actually do some sailing this year!
