Things built, torn down and other projects.(Pictures)

Thanks! The built in benches are such a great place to cool down after a good run. I love how many nice places there are to sit in this house.

I’m always amazed how few people actually use their outdoor spaces!

Edit to add: well, except for Nekkid Boy and his outdoor shower. How’s that coming along, @Orangeslice13 ?

Well, we all appreciate that, I’m sure.

For serious.
I’ve got a ton of outdoor space we use regularly

Are you like us, and the only people you ever see sitting outside?

It’s so weird. Happened in Cali, too, where you’d think they’d know better.

Everyone that comes by is always jealous of the space.
But yes, it seems nobody actually uses their outside space

Give a thought to taking one to bring back @Souce. Put Weez and TFG on ignore for a couple of weeks. You’re Teflon. Nothing will stick to you.

@Tin Man ... I saw where you tagged me a few weeks ago and I know I didn't respond and I apologize for that.

I have PTSD from my time in Iraq and since my back has gotten worse, it's really came on full force. I know it's because I know I can't keep on reclaiming barns. My back just can't take it.

The reason I reclaim barns is because of my ptsd. It keeps me away from people and make good money. I can't work a regular job. If someone said the wrong thing or pisses me off, let's just say I'm not a nice person.
Reclaiming barns literally saved my life. And now that I know I can't continue, it has shoved me right back.down that dark hole. Today was the first day I've worked in a week and half. I've been holed away from the world which is what I do. Self isolation is one of the symptoms, obsessive behavior is another as well as insomnia. I will.go 2 days without sleep.

Another of it has to do with the fact that I have no idea what I'm going to do for work. I'm trying to save as much money as I can so at least I'll have some seed money to start over once I figure out what I'm going to do.

I'm not telling you this for sympathy. I'm telling you this because I see you as one of the few friends I have on here and out in the world. I'm a very private and closed off person. I didn't want to ignore you, but it's just what happens when the ptsd surfaces.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you an update. And thank God that bama monkey is off our back. I think UT had a great chance to go all the way.

Appreciate your words. Find your rythym. You have a friend, here. Bama’s streak is now 0-1.

Hang in there man, you'll be in our prayers.

Probably my biggest project to date. It’s not nearly as big as what y’all have tackled but I’m proud. Replaced about 50 worn deck boards on the front deck and also made improvements to deck stairs to make them safer. Went through as cleaned and stained it too.

Definitely the work of a novice, but it feels cool to do this all myself. Plus it saved us a lot of money.
