Hodag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This weekend was very busy. We had our first Hodag spotting on the property. Here he (or she) is sitting on stump.
Ugly aren't they.
Saturday I pulled out on of the basement dorrs and replaced it with a Window. My outstanding planing and carpenter skills show in the images below;
Do you like how installed Window the exact same height as the existing picture window. And the panes of glass all line up. And it fit exactly in the door frame. I am good.
OK. OK. I am very lucky. I saw the windows at Menards a few weeks ago. I was not sure it would fit. So I decided to try. I yanked out the door. Fixed the major carpentry mistakes of the previous builder. I measured the window to make a frame. Then I installed. Later Susan pointed out to me the window was the right size.
Now I have to find replacement Siding. I am going to try to fabricate some siding using my recently purchased 1948 Sears Craftsman Table saw (parts still available).
I also moved the switches that were beween the Windows and now removed door. All the switches for this area in teh basement are no in one spot, next to the new door.
Saturday evening we attending the annual UKPOA meeting. No major complaints of water skiers this year. The big topic of discussion was the new subdivision going in "Kaubashine Manor". It's 12 acres of land subdivided into 8 lots. One of the lots has a house. A few years ago they tried to sell all the land and the house for 12 million. I don't think they are getting even close to that. The Lot with the house sold for $340K. The lake lots are selling for $240k each. There are 5 lake lots and 2 off lake. I am guessing the off lake lots are selling for about $80K. So if they get the asking price for all the land it's $1.2 Million. Still over priced.
Susan finished the road sign and we put it up this morning.
It's good to be on the bottom. I do not need the stress of being on top!
