Christmas Tree Van

Not such a great slide scan.  I tried AutoCorrect but it didn't help much.  I don't have PhotoShop or things like that.

Would you drive or ride around in something like that?  It was Ford Econoline Van.  Had the engine up between the two front seats.  Was owned by the Honeywell Corporation and they painted it.  I suppose that the colors were company colors.  Our neighbors called it the Christmas Tree Van.  I believe that's Big Meadows in the Shenandoah National Park.  Fun times.

How to Eat a Sloppy Woody

Woody's is coming to Sharpes.  Or maybe it's Canaveral Groves.  Or Frontenac.  Anyway, just north of Cocoa on US-1 a new Woody's is arising from the ruins of the old Corky Belle's.

One of the southern BBQ things that I like is the sloppy sandwich.  It's a bunch of BBQ meat slapped on a bun.  Yep, that's it.  Sauce already applied.  Here is how you eat it.  Order it with some coleslaw.  Open the bun, spread the sloppy Woody around both buns, put the coleslaw on top and consume.

Only Woodys and Ken's BBQ in Live Oak have a good sloppy sandwich.

Cabinets!!

Ikea Lixtorp Cabinets.  From 150 boxes in the garage to cabinets on the wall.  The architect/designer/engineer/contractor has been very busy.

First Cabinet Goes Up

The first cabinet goes up!! Yippee.

The architect and the interior designer busy at work.

Vinyl Floor Planks

The first vinyl fooring plank goes down.  Note the careful placement!

I have stuff to post...

but I've been lazy and busy at the same time.  New job, new stuff going on.

Let's see.  I finished the soffitts.  Did a bunch of other stuff.  Then started on the kitchen.  My architect/designer/contractor has been very busy.

Cutting soffitts.  I had these little insets in my sawhorses so I grabbed a couple of 2X2s and some leftover 2X4 pieces and a few 2 1/2in deck screws and I had a great soffitt panel cutter.  I've been cutting them with a medium coarse wood blade in my jigsaw.

The whole thing is 8ft long.  I love those little Irwin pistol grip clamps, and I used them to create a fence.  I'm about half way done with the whole house.  About on schedule for me, WAY BEHIND schedule for my wife!!
