Finished shed renovation over last couple weeks. New roof, windows, gutters, siding and home made doors.

Electrician buddy hooked up the buried line we ran out there this spring.

The old sidewalk and patio are behind it. We have siding and shingles left over.

So I'm building another shed right beside it to the left. We're going to build it like a weight bearing deck, too hard to transport cement and block back there. My cousin has built 7 decks (all for family) and suggested he build the deck base part and I will take over after that.

I have to get some treated 6x6's back there to start in about a month.

Then our storage space problem is solved and I will be completely done after almost 2 years of doing 2 houses. (maybe ;-))

Still have a hillside to defoliate, Sumac trees grow like fuck there. But that's winter work when the poison ivy is gone, and it's optional. Depends how bored I get. Sometimes it's good to work outside in winter, get out of the house and burn one.

I don't think you'll ever be done youre far to imaginative and motivated to not tinker on the property

Be weary of the ivy even in the winter the oils in/on the stem are still quite effective.. Just a life lesson I learned but I'm also highly allergic so it could just be me

Fuck poison ivy, we had it everywhere in our backyard too. I watched a couple videos on removal and removed a bunch of it, still got a rash but not too bad.

Your shed looks really nice.

Over the weekend I volunteered for a program called ampsurf. I've surfed for a number of years and was able to help those who had never surfed, and those who had pre amputation. Also worked with a young guy with autism and an older lady with down syndrome, both of which where amazing to work with and really good at catching some waves! Here are a few pics from the first day, I didn't bring my phone the second day

Those are really nice. Ever think of building "tiny houses" as a post retirement hobby? http://www.countryliving.com/home-design/g1887/tiny-house/

When do you think it will be ready for me to move in?

We don't have poison ivy here, but something just as bad.
The Russian word is Pushki (Aka: Alaskan Cow Parsnip) & it can cause a horrible itching rash & blisters the size of golf balls.

Did I mention the Devil's club?

You know, when I buried that electric line, I didn't realize we'd need a 2nd shed. Now I wish I had run 3.

But 1 will be enough to run a 600 out there in the middle of winter. Strictly as an experiment, 1 plant in a 7 gal. pot. Couldn't do it in summer, but winter weather and cracked windows will keep temps. low enough, I think.

God really hated that continent when he made it.
Fuck, I'm in Africa, I never have to look for poisonous weeds or wild animals like bears.
The people, well, they are just as wild as over there.

I went to smell my stinky plant again. Good fuck it has a strong smell to it. Took some branches off to try and clone them, I really like this genetics.
I was working on a bunch of plants, and they just smelled the way they always do, but this smaller plant, dear Nellie, I can't wait to smoke some of it, might be ready for harvest by end of Sept. I'm definitely doing an even bigger outdoor grow next winter. It is just so little hassle, No watering to keep up with, only a few grasshoppers and bugs outdoors. The strains I ran are mold resistant due to being landrace. I am seriously thinking of trying to flip a clone to throw pollen and then crossing it with the very smelly cheese we are doing indoor. That would be a nice pheno hunt chucking project for next winter, as the March to April harvest season is about to begin outdoors I'll be too late to catch it for this. I'll probably just run some of the cheese clones outdoors until then to get a measure of how the grow here, outside.

How deep did you have to bury your cable, if you know what I mean? :hump:

I have never seen any of those in the wild.
We have a nice lion sanctuary close by. Some of those fuckers get huge. They also have some leopards and Bengal tigers people raised as pets and such. Wait, I saw crocodiles in Zimbabwe/Zambia at The Gorge (it featured on amazing race once).

You get to see this though. My wife and I have walked the path over the bridge from zim to zam and back a few times. It's not far but the humidity near kills you.

Those are neighboring countries, I'm from the southern tip of Africa.
We stayed at the Safari lodge they are in as well as The Kingdom which is on the border.
