Progress in the Man Cave

The lumber rack is done.

Rumor has it that work will soon resume on my kitchen.

It darn well better or someone is going to be living in the man cave.

Meanwhile, Back at the Man Cave

Work continues on the "wall o' lumber."

There was apparently a memo sent out about an official uniform.

Not everyone got the dress code memo, but Lincoln and Jackson tried to help anyway.


Loaded and ready to go.

A plywood rack still needs to be built, but I have been guaranteed that, once completed, Vern will be 100% more efficient.

Come visit the blog again when you have quit laughing about that one.

Rack Em' Up

Since Jesse is here for a while, Vern decided to use his help to get his shop into shape. Vern can't do much heavy work right now, so having a couple of extra hands and a strong back is a big help.

Their first order of business was to build a lumber rack. They are basing it on a design found here - Lumber Rack.

They spent a couple of days drywalling and painting and then were ready to start the fun part.

Lincoln helping lay out the lumber for the framework.

(Jackson was sleeping happily inside where it is air conditioned.)

Getting the frame up on the wall.

Vern - organizing some of his shop cabinets.

Mmmm, I love a man that knows how to use a level.

Jesse - wondering what he got himself into.

Cost of materials to build lumber rack - $220

Time to build lumber rack - 1 week

Time to myself while they are in the man cave - Priceless.
