All is quiet

We had a great Christmas with the blessed use of our friends suburban-thanks again!

The truck is on hold while I get paid to work. At Amy's work-they wanted access to additional space so they punched through some sheetrock and found this hidden inside. I don't have any before pictures but this was entirely hidden behind sheetrock.

On this side of the wall-it was just sheetrock and the windowsill. no frame just raw sheetrock coming near to the edge of the window.
So they hired me to trim it out. I attempted with my LIMITED skills to make it match in idea. I bought a new hitachi table saw and a lot of oak boards and set to work this week. This is a view of both walls and doors I trimmed out. I'm still working on countertops and such but I'm glad the pics aren't too detailed. Its better than what was there and matches pretty well but I am not my dad's uncle(an excellent cabinetmaker)

Saturday is shot in regards to truck work and then I start on a front end and brake job on the borrowed suburban next week. then I have to dismantle a truck and prepare to have it shipped... It may be 2 weeks before i get back to the 4x4... which is going to have a modified 1958 truck bed;

And the fun part-its going to be a dump bed. =) I love engineering stuff! and welding! I have to shorten the bed a good amount and then it wont have fenders but it will have work boxes hung on the outside.
