Spring has really been trying to interfere with winter jobs here lately. Yeah - it actually got a jump on us the other day and kinda forced us outside.
So this week has mostly been about Spring chores: some yard, some equipment, some spring cleaning (removing paint over-spray dust from EVERYTHING!) - meaning I've been pulling stuff down off the shelves again and cleaning each item - most require damp to wet washing of this paint dust from Lil' Queeny. Thank Odin most of my coffee cans have lids on! Those that don't - well dang.
If I paint again in this garage, it will include a proper ventilation thing - box fan I suppose.
But things are coming along. And need that reorganization every so often on a project like this. Have to step back and look at it from another angle.
Here was one of the bigger jobs this week that I am really pleased with.
Snowplow becomes driveway grader.
Not sure if that link will take you to the exact right spot, but may need to scroll to the March 2017 entry, my page 7. Some of the very first posts discussed my original intention of making these plow parts work to both clear snow in winter, and fix and groom the driveway well in Spring and Summer, something I had been doing each year with a rake!
So got the jump on Spring and Summer coming, and prepping the back drive area for a new truck and camper covered parking spot. Still waiting on the bid for that.
In the meantime, installed some of these the other day, and the small door catch yesterday.
When I got ready to install these access door hold-open catches, I realized I had forgotten to make sure wood was behind each preferred location, so I had to choose location based on where the wood was! For the two big doors, they are lower than preferable, but they do the job satisfactorily, which is a big plus. We chose brushed stainless.
Right-rear Propane Cabinet.
Left-front lower fridge-vent and storage cabinet.
Rear dump-valve access and storage compartment.
We're right handed, so all the catches were placed on the left sides. These are something you don't think about until you don't have them. Then you discover they are a necessity.
