Thursday Dec 11, 2014 Where have I been?

    I am sitting here at my desk watching the storm as it blows the clouds rapidly in our direction.  Twenty minutes ago it was sunny  Now it is windly and clouds have covered the sun and are taking over the sky.  The weather people this morning made it sound like a Nor-Easterwas coming but it is coming from the southwest.  High winds, lots of rain.  Oh boy!
    It has been a while since have typed at this keyboard.  With a smart phone, a laptop isn't needed to check emails, look up information, order something on Amazon.  Also I can do it from the car, the backyard, or the family room and not go to the den and fire up the HP. 
   In addtion, there were many chores ( there still are ) that needed to be done outside and so in this country, if the weather is ok, you better get it done now because it may rain tomorrow.  So the fence got repaired, the fruit trees trimmed ( actually since they have not been trimmed back for many years, they got cut Way back ), gutters cleaned (twice), chalking done and the shed finished. 
   The shed was a major project. Athough nicely finished on the outside, the interior was bare bones.  Just the outside wall and 2x4s.  After numerous trips to the Habitat for Humanity "Rehab" store, the walls and roof had been insulated and the walls and ceiling covered and painted white.

There is an upper cabinet high up on the the far wall and bathroom sized vanity cabinet supporting a workbench along the wall under the window.  The wall opposite has shelving along most of it. 
   The end result is that I have a building that is not as cold in the winter, not as hot in the summer and stores twice as much as the unimproved model.  Next year I will do something with the plywood floor.
