The Co-op, A Friday to lick wounds

Yes-sir…. progress never comes without a battle and brother… over the last couple of weeks we’ve really been scratching our way up the side of that tin can!  Big projects have gone out, fresh purchases have been made road worthy…. other projects are cranking up and this beat certainly is going on….  it does get tiring from time to time… I mean I want to get out in the bay and make neat things!  Instead I have paperwork that clogs my mind.  No matter how much we want to have fun, we do still have to keep the lights on and all that.  There’s paperwork that goes with everything we do today… even our daily rituals so just deal with it… right?  Well today, I’m looking to spend a little more time on fun stuff… tomorrow will be here but today we create….  And this will be my object of frustration this day  Willie & Nancy’s frig cabinet  white-frig-4  Working with any new medium, you find the good and bad points as you learn working the product.  The good is creating edges and corners that could not be otherwise possible… the downside is the panels pretty much need to be accurate.  So now we’re working with off angle pieces…… oh what fun!  Yes in fact it is fun when you can jump in to an issue and solve it to a quality finish….. This new vacuum form media has great promise …. I just need to learn more faster…..

So while I’m over there scratching my head, Hans, Danavan, Brentley and the rest of the trim crew are over with Dill’s 23′ rear bath.  As we trim out each area I’ll give you pics, right now everything is being fitted… you don’t wanna see that!  It looks bad until it doesn’t so stay tuned.  Remember, you have to break eggs to make an omelet.  And it being held up as a better than average end result… this project will also offer it’s “fun”.  But today we ride on “Savoy Brown”.

Got word from Adrian that they made it over the border to Toronto …. bet you wish you were still down here where it’s still pretty warm!  adrian-delivery-24  Bet you feel more like 3 popsicles about now! 

OK, I need to go… my tools are calling… see ya tomorrow and really… thanks for the visit.. hope you enjoyed something in there…..
