I'm telling Minion.

I never did like goat milk, but that's about all my mom drinks.

They do make fine weed eaters.

Three weekends later and I'm finally done. Only thing left is to stain the bridge, but that will come next spring/summer once the wood has had time to dry up some.

My boy knocked it out of the park. GG, man. Looks great.

Thanks man. I'm not a great carpenter, but it does feel good to get it done. I think my wife was surprised. She didn't realize how much different it would look.

I thought I had a before picture. Guess not.

Hell yeah your wife liked it. Now rub her back with those calloused hands and drive her crazy tonight. lol

lol. We got up early to take the dog to the vet. So she's 'napping'

Napping or being prepared for her stud?

lol. A man can dream

you should paint it randomcolors imo

Well, I have successfully completed the install of my whole house filter and softener/conditioner. Only one more project remains and it's the season for relaxing.

No leaks either!

Damn, son! Looks good.

Fortunately you can't see the first one I did in the wall. Looks like shit, haha.  However, no leaks first time, so I'm a happy man.  Been a long time since I did any copper sweating.

Here's the initial step. You can see that top joint looks a bit rough.

No one's even gonna notice that, and like you said ... it's a tight seal. GG on my end. lol

Thanks. Will be even less noticeable when the drywall is covering it. Haha.

I love getting things done. Been a productive couple of months. Just a couple more things and it's relax through winter time.
