BIG JOHN'S WORKSHOP

We only had one day to work on things this weekend. Big John is traveling tomorrow. We're still waiting on the propane tank installation, so we're at a standstill on the kitchen. Once the propane tank is in and the stove is hooked up, Big John can test the gas lines and then finish installing paneling in my studio, so it's on hold. We are short 3 pieces of tin, so we can't finish the brood room windows in the bobwhite flight pen ... so the only thing left to work on was Big John's workshop.
We cleared out the remaining items that haven't yet found a permanent home - some flight pen lumber, a couple of estate sale cabinets, a table in progress, and miscellaneous tools.




And we loaded it all on the trailer (where it will probably sit for a while...)

Eleven hours later, we'd finished putting up all the OSB wall boards, put down the 3/4 inch plywood floor, installed the ground rod and run the ground wire, hooked up the electrical, put in all the light switches and outlets, and installed the lights! Quite an accomplishment for one day of work!



This is great news, because around here we operate on the domino effect - finishing Big John's workshop will enable us to move tools out of the feedroom - which will allow me to turn it back into a feedroom and add a small incubator room - which will get the incubators and hatchers out of the garage - and then we can park two vehicles in the garage!!

Slowly but surely, it's getting done!
