Back wall on and took three tries to cut the roof notches out… all the felt is done, where you see the back felt will be the stucco.

Adrienne had to help hold the top section of the back wall until I was able to drive a few screws in.

Made a shade door that fir perfectly out of the closet door I cut in half.

now no one can see in. but if I need more light I can open it up and have light on my work table.

The formal inauguration took place on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 1500 at Madera Post 131 Membership Meeting. District 2 Commander, Gary Smith, conducted the inauguration with the assistance of outgoing Sgt at Arms Mike Davis.

It was pretty hot so i only worked about 6 hours today. Got all the walls covered except for the back… need to get another sheet of OSB.

Put up some of the felt and tomorrow i will start on the chicken wire and the roof.

I need to figure out how to cut two sheets of 4 ft by 8 ft and make the two into 64 inches by 98 inches.

Front wall and rafters and some river rock for the front. The river rock was free on next door.

I started a small shed for the backyard so I can put a bunch of the tools and Christmas tree out there and try and regain some of my floor space in the garage.

Price of lumber is so high and the veterans 10% off doesn’t apply to lumber or other building supplies… I did end up saving 29 bucks which isn’t too bad , but the bill was still over 600 bucks… uhg! I worked all Saturday from 8 AM until around 4:30, wasn’t too bad once I got shade. I got all four walls done and three of them up and anchored.

The weather was perfect and I have enough of the items I wanted complete to be able and drive my BMW 1968 model 2002 ,,, so we went to dinner and enjoyed the drive. An older man in the parking lot ask while I was taking pictures what year it was and said it reminded him of his he bought in 1983, he said it was a 1976 BMW 2002tii.

It was nice to see everyone giving me the thumbs up as we drove.

Good dinner and a nice drive. I am glad it is running perfect again… even if it was after two and a half years!
