My view via a picture sent to me yesterday. Buck shot by my grandson in Missouri who turned 10 about a week ago. One shot at a lazered 320 yards. Son said that he thought it was a big bodied spike but it turned out its antlers were broken off. Grandson used a rifle I built for his dad.

Went deer hunting, first time in the woods in the last three years... Dad's mental decline and cancer and passing are but memories now... didn't see much yet worth the effort. Shot pics instead.

Three days in the blind, numerous does and little guys that might be worth revisiting in a couple years. I did get an old rotted step replaced and a garage door fixed for my mom in between trips to the Blind. This used to be my play ground, now I am the care taker ;)

Sorry for your loss. Spend as much time with your mom as you can.
 
Spent a couple days last week over at a buddies place putting this mobile shooting bench together. All of the metal, wheels, axels and wagon tongue came out of various scrap piles. The marine grade plywood was donated. The seats, jacks and aluminum box were the only things purchased.
Seats are on swivel bases so to access the right bench you just sit and spin….

….a good start….

….metal work done and a coat of paint…

….got the top on, still needs some trim and finish. Plywood was a little damp so it’ll have to wait a week or two to dry out….

She’s a big girl, 80” wide by 64” deep…

Nice
 
For all the noise and banging around that kept me awake all dang day, it doesn’t look like a lot was actually accomplished.

They got most of the blocking up for the ‘ledge’ that will be at the bottom of the stucco, and top of the rock portion of the wall facings:

Kind of like this ledge on the end of the garage (and various places around the house), but at the 10’ mark instead of down low like this one:

Didn’t have time to see what else was done…if anything. Going on less than two-hours sleep; gonna be a fun shift. 🫤

Did I mention how ready I am for this project to be completed?

I started tearing out uneven impossible to clean slate (with expanded metal in it on top of linoleum) in my kitchen. Found damaged subfloor next to sliding back door that was was easiest to fix by replacing and widening sliding door. Also tearing out carpet and putting in pergo with new base boards. Also replacing carpet on stairs with pergo. Doing it all myself.

Haven't finished drywall by sliding door, or started putting anything on stairs yet.

Started tearing out slate July 1st.

Will do a full better post later with pics once I get it done.
