Personally I don't mind having a messy shop...half the fun in working on something is looking for a certain tool and actually finding it lol

Or searching through your "stuff" and finding something you forgot you had😁

Been sealing up the crawl space the last few weeks, took all the old insulation out, installed new, boxed in the exterior, around the bow bay window., made insulated panels and added an access door to the area. finally just have to paint it before the cold weather sets in. Buying an old house makes lots of work!

Yesterday I cleaned out my small barn after selling our horse, and moved a bunch of stuff out of my workshop into the barn... Now I have lots more room in the shop ...wonder how long it'll stay organized though🤔

I guess i prefer a dirty shop. I can brag that I amnso busy I dont have time to clean....and I cant find an employee worth hiring.

Fell off the ladder to the roof-10 feet or so. It must have looked like Tim Allen on home improvement.....The dang thin collapsed, and slid down when I was at the top, So I pushed off and hit the ground rolling. Lucky I was not hurt. Note to self, Make sure the latches are in the proper position before climbing.....

Know the feeling, seems like I jam a knee or something once or twice a season climbing in and out of these boats.

Glad your good to go!

Myself, I don't bounce so well anymore.

Removed all four port lights. Got two of the assemblies cleaned up and one of the ports cleaned. Still a lot of scraping with a razor blade left to do.

Spent 45 minutes working on a gas engine on a piece of equipment at work, to figure out it won't run on an empty tank😫. On the bright side, my diagnosis of " it's a fuel issue" was spot on😁

Sometimes you're the bug; sometimes you're the windshield!

Myself, I spent 20 minites trying to start my buddies wood splitter before realizing that the darn HF engine has a teeny tiny little on off switch on the hidden side of the motor!

Yesterday I got 2 of my 3 mowers winterized and into storage. The third mower will be put away after all the leaves have fallen.
Today I'll be putting a new auger and paddles on my snowblowers.
