I helped out a friend today and built and installed new shed doors on his 94 year old Mother's shed. After cleaning the garage, I pulled out the sewing machine and repaired three flags that were tattered and torn from the wind. I hung the Thin Blue Line back on the pole, and folded the POW/MIA and American flag to be changed out at a later date.

Thank you. I've worked with my hands most of my life, and enjoy giving back when I'm able to. Every now and then, I even get some pellet money for my efforts!😂😂

Spent the first 8 months of my retirement in the "honey-do" mode. New shingles/tarpaper on the roof, retiled both bathrooms, new carpet through out the house, repainted every interior wall, built a greenhouse for the "BOSS" out in the backyard, cut down 2 big trees and grind the stumps. I was her "hired hand", got it done, and now I do what I want, 'cause there ARE no more big projects.

A ton of mini projects! Hanging curtains, fans, replacing lights, fixing the previous owners half rear end repares and still found time to sneak out for a few fishing trips. Still getting settled in here and still have a list. Mostly fight the va and dod for things like the gi bill i transferred to my kids but somehow theres no record of it. Gotta knock out base boards and most of the trim around the windows outside. Once all that is done things will slow down a bit.

Long story short.... built my wife the dream house that she always wanted. Four years later all that's left is paint and cabinets for the laundry room.

The church is fixing up someone's house for them, so I went today and removed four countertops that were rotted because someone didn't set the backsplashes in a bed of silicone. I have a real problem with lazy/shoddy workmanship. Cleaned up all the tops of the cabinets and another two guys will install the new tops on Friday and hook up the plumbing.
Then I went to my garage shop and fabricated a wooden L-bracket to mount a Ring doorbell on my daughter's brick house. Went over and removed the doorbell, extended the bell wires and got it all hooked up and caulked in. Forgot to take a picture. It came out really nice, and her neighbor stopped by and asked me to do it on his house when he buys his Ring doorbell. More pellet money!!!! YEAH! 👏 👏 Finally something that pays. Lol

I hadn't finished 1 item on the honey-do list. I've been retired since December of 2016 and the list gets longer and longer until there's no reason for me to prioritize. It's to a point where I'm gonna start looking for a job just so she can stop nagging me about when am I going to start her next project. I thought I was the only one with this problem.

Not retired here... But I have a list. The list gets taken care of as things pop up. What controls everything is how much money each project costs.
Since I travel a lot, I get less time to work on the list. So I prioritize; hit the list as I can and figure out how to squeeze in shooting pellets and flinging arrows.
