    OoooOOoo... shiny... It's still kinda rough and scratched but I'm okay with that.

    I grabbed this metal stand out of a dumpster at work before I retired intending to use it for this purpose. Today I finally cut a piece of plywood so I can set the drill and bench grinder up...

    Not bad... not bad at all...

    I cleaned up, sanded and primed the window casing & trim. It needs a coat or two of white paint to finish it off.

    I tried posting this yesterday. Apparently I did something wrong as it didn't get posted.

    I took this pic before I sealed/primed the window and door trim.

    Another segment done! The next segment is on the right side of the picture... shelves to be cleared so I can paint the wall.

    Some of the "spots" are knots in the plywood rather than screw holes but yeah...

    I ran out of the spray primer so I used the same primer I was using for the window frames to touch up the walls...

    And then after walking, I painted two coats of the gray...

    I noticed as I was painting around the shelf brackets that the wet paint was close to the same colour as the brackets... as I wished... but it dries much darker.

    That's better!! Now... only one wall left to fix and paint... although I might take a break from that and do some work in the kitchen for a change of pace.

    Luckily my work passed inspection... I was prepared to bribe (with treats) but she was satisfied.

    One sturdy shelf made of 2x4s and 3/4" plywood... all scrap material from a cupboard I disassembled.

    The lobster trap was left under the deck by the previous owner. I found these three buoys in the woods. My wife says save them and she'll paint them up nicely. lol

    I also found this soaker hose... I haven't tested it yet but it seems intact...

    Both the east and west side of the property has trees. This load of twigs etc is on the west side...

    I pulled half a dozen dead trees from this spot...

    And dragged it all to this pile where a bunch of debris from storm damaged trees were dumped.
