Quilting? Ha! Roofing Project Straight Ahead...

There I am, stripping away the ridge cap. Do you wonder if I wouldn't rather be sewing? You bettcha I would! This is a tough project. Hubby is inside pulling together supplies to replace rotted wood, but don't worry, he's coming back to bulldog the rest of the shingles off. This is a steep roof, didn't look that way until I climbed up here. Our DD1's friend, Dan, loaned us a Bulldog to strip the shingles and nails off and it is a sweet tool. Thank you, Dan!!

Tom's growing a Hops vine on the end of the building. He's a brewer of some very tasty beers! No doubt he would rather be brewing than working on this project just like I would rather be quilting. Poor guy, he works way too hard!

Here is our Carpenters Workshop and Garden Shed building. Would this not make the nicest Quilter's Studio? A girl can dream, but where would I do my dirty work? Where would I work on my workshoppy projects? The garden shed is actually separated from the workshop space by a wall so the business end of the garden shed in this building is kept to itself. It's a stinky place, not good for quilting. The carpenter's shop is finished inside and has potential...

Here is the other project that has kept us busy.

Our "Swing House" has been moved to it's new location. It now has a fresh coat of paint.

The old wood swing is in the shop being stripped of it's old paint and will reappear next spring all bright and shiny new. All it will need is a comfy cushion, a quilt, couple of magazines and a cuppa, or, maybe two little kids swinging?!

Some things to look forward to. A workshop made new again and time to daydream while gently swinging on a freshly painted swing, all in good time...you know how it is.
