Even though I lost over 30 lbs, and am down to the weight I was when I was working out, I feel like I weigh a ton and its sometimes a ridiculous effort to even get up out of my chair or climb stairs… it may be in part because the meds are making me retain water and my lower legs are swollen.. Doc has not prescribed a water pill to deal with it because of all freeking things my blood pleasure was lowish last visit.
It’s not even a question of some days being better than others… sometimes its some hours being better than others, which is in part why is very hard for me to commit to anything lately.
Having said that… a number of you have been asking about beds and tables and other shop projects being made...
While I wish to accommodate you all… and in fact, my shop’s main reason for existence was to facilitate such, its going to have to wait till the new trailer is completed or at the very least in a comfy state of production.
I’ve been feeling lousy, and not been getting much done shop wise... but... I believe I am getting a little bit better as my mind is at least pushing me to get stuff done and plan which is usually a good sign.
I have more organization I need to do to clear a space in the shop to work on the trailer… since business has been frantic – even if I was feeling well, it’s difficult. – but the phones seems to be calming down a bit.
To that end, there should be progress in the coming week or two.
I hope to have the new work benches in place by the end of this week.
Next… my parents got a closing date of Monday on the new house. It’s official... I’m moving.
This of course is another complication. But mitigating that – the boat that is in the shop will be gone and in the water soon – leaving us ample room. Then again – I may be out fishing more often as well.
Having said that… when time approaches, what I will do is set up a few project days for the specific projects at hand. It will be best if all interested in a particular project come together and sort of assembly line the deal. So, to that end, I will set up a “table day” for those who need or want to build an additional table, and a “bed day” for those who want to sleep in style. We did this last time there was interest and it worked out pretty well.
The tables can be built in a day, depending on the quantity involved. I think Brogan and I hade it down to 4 hours from start to finish for one table.
The beds on the other hand, you will most likely need to commit three 8 hour sessions, and I may be asking that you bring all materials home with you rather than leave them at the shop both for your safety and my sanity.
Ok so with that... things are still on hold and tentative till further notice.
