Thank you. I should probably take pictures of the weird-*kitten* shelves the previous owners had scattered around the garage. So bizarre.DogloverTerri wrote: »Wow. Love love those shelves 💕👏👏👏1 -
Scrape scrape scrape; shovel shovel shovel...
I discovered an exercise setting on my iWatch called "Snow Sports" so I gave it a try as a way to keep track of my exercise session...

After I ended that workout, I remembered I needed to shovel off the deck too. Luckily no ice there so things went smoothly and easily.0 -
The pellet stove opened up for service. The hopper and firebox are turned 90 degrees... and the ashcan is sitting out to the right of the stove.
This is the firebox... where the pellets are burned...

Here's how it looks as I'm closing it up...
This is all that holds the hopper and firebox against the stove's combustion chamber...

All buttoned up. If you look closely, you can see the little red handle.
Do you see the three "handles" to the right of the combustion chamber's viewing window? Those are for cleaning off inside the combustion chamber. The stove is a boiler and there are pipes passing through the combustion chamber to heat the water contained therein. Since there is ash inside the chamber, some of it settles on the pipes... Those handles are attached to scrapers fitted over the pipes. Each day as I add pellets to the hopper, I pulled those back and forth to clear the ash off.
Here's the hopper with four bags of pellets loaded up... ready to go!!

All together... just need to trim back the bench top to the appropriate size.
Painted...

Zip zap zooop... the benchtop fits...
I wrestled the metal top back into place so I can mark it and make ready to cut it off.

Another problem solved... although now I have to figure out what to do with the remaining metal.

The side bench with the mobile bench rolled up against it...

I used my hand grinder to cut the metal to fit the side bench...
As I mentioned, I made the side bench fixed to the wall securely but the same height as the movable bench... I'm quite pleased about how well it turned out...

Boxed the ends of the benches... In yesterday's pictures, I was testing the piece for the side bench but the mobile bench was open. Now both are installed.
This is the back of the top panel of the antique headboard. You can see the stain colour on the post. I started sanding in the back so I could see how hard the wood is etc... Unless I'm mistaken, I think that is birdseye maple.. a gorgeous and relatively rare wood. If so... what a prize!!

The headboard in question...
The back of same...
The plan is to make the headboard into a bench similar to this...

Let there be drawers!! The faces are deeper than the drawers but it works for the bench...

New vises... I'm kinda disappointed by the poor quality paint on one. My inner OCD wants to repaint it...

As you can see, the walls are more than one colour of gray... I got the paint guys to "scan" a piece of the shelving but the colour ended up much darker than I expected... maybe too dark for the walls...
