Jump on it! JUMP ON IT!!!

We have a glucose meter, think i paid 30 for it.

I took a break from working on it this past year, too much else going on. We did a lot of finish work on the barn we built in 2023, built a riding ring, and cleared the back acre for the horses to graze on and fenced it in this past year; plus been leveling up our property to try to stop the flooding. I'll get back to it eventually.

Here is a post view of last years work, lol: (I designed everything shown, but a lot of the actual building was done by my husband; I just helped him with it, lol)


Old kitchen: (it was closed in, dark, isolated, and only had 24" of counter space; no cabinets, no light coming in windows or light coming in door = and as we found out after tearing into it, no insulation behind the drywall)

Old dining room: (really dark, blocks off the kitchen totally).

Built deck: (I designed this totally and did the angled boards on top. My husband did the framing and structure below work).

Before sidewalk and before building the screening for the deck:

After sidewalk (I designed the sidewalk and chose the materials, but couldn't lift them to do this. My husband did all the heavy work on this).

Screened in porch: (I designed and did most of the work on the walls. My husband did the ceiling and roof; wired it for the fan and lights)

Workbench I built for my husband: (I designed and built this)

It has both a built in table saw and a built in Miter saw. The Miter saw flips underneath to give you a flat surface when not in use.

Drawers, (and a built in vise that I didn't get a picture of):

Dog house: (I designed and built this myself)

Fence: (needed to keep dog in, I designed it, my husband and his friends built it)

Oops, some of the Kitchen pics got down below the dining room, sorry about that.


** The workbench is two workbenches that lock together when needed to feed big boards, or separate when you need more free space and just needing one of the saws. Either saw has its own feed table, and I made extra long "fences" for feeding longer boards. The Planer sitting on the table in one photo has its own table now that hooks into this table so it can use the big table to feed wood boards through.

Wowza, this is all super impressive! Alas, I have absolutely no talent at this sort of thing, or much of anything else for that matter.

My actual talent is just in looking up YouTube videos, I have to learn how to do everything. But the designing I do enjoy.

Beautiful work, mALX!

Thank you (both) so much!!!
