So, everyone here knows that summer is time to fix stuff, build stuff, remodel stuff, etc,etc.

What is YOUR summer project??  What is on YOUR "honeydew" list.......

I'm currently taking all tools, ladders, etc, off the walls of my garage, priming and painting the drywall, and reorganizing everything that gets hung up.

My garage is about 28 x 40 feet, so it is a bit of a job. I know I should have done this when we first built, I hate seeing drywall unprimed just slowly turning brown, but i just did not do it when I should have.

Now it will be nicely painted, curtians on the windows, and everything hung up just right.   It's a great place to have grad parties, etc, when the weather is questionable.

This should be done this week, then moving on to the next project............

So, what is YOUR project(s)?????

Lint,
While i was busy thinking last night i saw a show about some old motorcycles. British I maybe. The first commercial bike to use the engine as the frame. Between 50 and 100 grand, restored.

Phewww...

Summer projects...

Not much this year... try to keep up with mowing and improving my ~3 acre lot in VT... planted a few apple trees and a dozen raspberry bushes there... and finishing touches and grass seeding a re-furbished 40' x 100' ole' fence line with 3 tons or rocks removed and stockpiled...

Attend the veggie garden at home...

I save indoor projects for cold wether...

Lint, fit the Hemi in the other thread.  BSAH.

I usually start about 50+ projects and jump around amongst them(could be ranging from tree removals, to car restoration work, to sattelite dish signal stealing devices and larger dishes and motors).  Get about 90% done and skip on to something else.  I drive my wife nuts.

I give my wife and family 110% though. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

It's time to build another computer for me.  A Windows XP Media Center Edition this time. 

So what are YOUR summer home projects??

To get a picture of Paula. Or video.

LOL - From what I hear those articles are going to be going for some pretty good bucks.  Good luck with that Marshall.
Now here's something - sit down and think (real hard thing for some of you to do by times) real hard about something that you always have to ask someone else to do.  For me it's using a sewing machine - hate the things with a passion and can't sew a straight line with one, but hand sew - straightest, neatest lines ever.  Make it a summer project to learn part or all of how to accomplish what you need help with.  Just a thought.

That's a nice one.  Always nice to have knowledge under your belt. 

Not anything really major that I have to do to the house this summer, but, I do have to wash all of the house windows cause they are so dirty you can't even hardly see out of them lol. Then I have to clean out the gutters and clean the decks. That is why I am waiting for my pressure washer coming Augest cause thats what I am going to use to do all this stuff. The projects that I have already done were, install AC unit, restore lockers and paint them, paint the work bench, and install telephone and ethernet to the shop.
