hey ND, are you going to be sleeping in at CHickenBUck Ranch? Fire up the heat in there tonight and get that chill off.

Little trip down to Windom to pick up an F250.

boy I could really get some sleep out there.

probably wont end up out there tonight though.

yeah I showed that to mama, she bout kilt me dead.

those are the sort of things that you just have to show up with, forgivness is easier than permission.

I will also be working on the basement. Painting, staining, and tiling are on the docket. My dad is coming down to help, so I plan on abusing him as much as possible.

As for sleep. Oh, that would be sooo cool to sleep. The boys are still getting up 3 times per night. each. I dont know how the wife does it as she gets up most of the time with them.

Quit talking about buying guns! It makes me wanna buy one and I am spending all my money and then some supporting Menards.

We have spent plenty at Menards and Home Depot. I have a most everything I need supply wise except the flooring for the family room. Have bought enough tile lately...

I'm replacing bedroom and bathroom doors upstairs right now. Getting rid of the mid 80's darkness on doors and trim. It is never ending. Install new door and frame, put up trim, baseboard no longer matches new light colored trim and oak doors, replace base board, oops don't match rooms now, replace, oop don't match hallway now, replace, oop don't match dining room, and on and on and on. Just doing a little at a time. Thank God Momma is understanding about it and not demanding it all match at once. She is going to stain everything which is good because I hate doing that.

Dave - Ya still thinking about putting up the barn wood at chicken buck this summer?

yep, I'd like to getthat done this summer for sure.

BYON (bring your own nailer )

I'll provide beer & food.

What kind of beer?

If you want help, let me know.

Rooster,

My basement was a blank canvas. We bought a spce home a few years ago, and the basement was unfinished, which is what I wanted.

The doors are driving me nuts. Some of these things you couldn't get more level, and they still close a little harder than they should.

Put in 2 bedrooms, family room, laundry room, hunting room, chitter, and a few closets. It seems never ending. I just buy supplies when we have the money, and no loans, no credit cards. Labor is free of course. I hired an electriction to hook up the breakers, and a plumber for the hard parts, otherwise it was all wifey and I. That makes it better IMO.

what ever kind of beer it takes.

I'm so excited!! Dave-why didn't you tell me that we were adding onto the house this summer? I'll get right on the plans for the two bedrooms, bathroom and family room. Wooohooo!!!!

Um...

what just happened?

I just got the addition on the house that I've wanted for about 5 yrs.

Free...I'm not picky.

My nailer needs electric, otherwise I'm good. Serious too.

I built that already.... it's one of those new "detached additions"

go by the name of "chickenbuck"

Nope, not gonna work Pa.

Ah oh!

Dave, your going to need a new truck to haul all that wood for your new addition. With a min. of a 390 to haul that load.

Gonna need a good truck for haulin materials.

like a 75 F250 crew cab, 390/4 spd, 4x4, dana 60 axles I spose.

Load up with Kokanee and i'll be out to help Dave. nothing better then beer and nails.....
