Hahahahaha! Gary, you crack me up!
I was going to start a new diary/thread since we're now parked (not totally moved just yet) in what seems to me a beach like place,
but I'm gonna keep it right here.
Building a pantry for my lady today, since she doesn't have a place in her new kitchen for all the freaking food she's accumulated over the last six months.......
Heh, doing that before I even build my shop bench.
Oughta be fun
yeah...
right....

How far is your new home from the cabin? Are you closer to Costco?

50 mi from the cabin
Further from Costco,
but that's gonna be a necessary trip,
before the snow stacks up on the mountain we have to go over to get there
We'll take the Jeep
Still enough coffee to last the winter
But barely
Can't chance that
Their Kirkland Columbian is jus' too good to be without

I had your coffee stash in mind when I posed the question.

Yeah, one can short of two flats (11 cans @ 48oz)
Got that right, Jim
I s/be done with the pantry in a couple days
(she gets to paint it)
Saw one at HD
Half the size I'm building at twice the price ($300 vs my materials $160)

Met our son at the cabin today
The little ones really enjoyed themselves while I showed him the daily chores and such
He's quite pumped on buying the place
Handed me a wad of bills
'Gonna pay it off in less than a year'
Glad, so very glad to keep it in the family
He'll, in turn, pass it down
Quite the legacy my lady and I created
I'm no longer torn on moving to town
So much to do at our new place
I've satisfied my lady's needs as far as pantries and storage, so now it's building the shop
I'll be posting some before and after pics

Will be looking forward to pictures.
We never took pictures of this old house before we started to remodel.
Regrets that we didn't.
No one believes us when we tell about how thick the rat crap was on counter.
Or about he cupboard turned over, that butter was still in dish.

Yeah, I've not done that with several houses now
This one is pretty ugly
I'm not gonna spend a whole bunch of money, so the challenge is there.....

Never know what you might find that 'needs' a home to make the new place more homey.
While at the flea market Saturday,, I found an ornate folding room divider.
Sort of Victorian style,, individual mirrors, large roses on a cream background.
My son had gave me his,, so I looked at it, till I talked my self out of it.

Ohhhhhhnohhhh
My lady has too much stuff already
We've got a whole sea container full of stuff
It's all been there since we moved to the cabin five years ago
So, going into that overgrown dumpster is like going to a thrift store
Thanks, Sli
We've got it covered

A woman needs some stuff. At least twice as much as you've got in your workshop!

@RadishRose ,, Have I mentioned that my hubby has 3 large garages +1 small garage & 2 semi trailers full?
Not counting the barn where 3 or 4 tractors hide.
I pity our sons when its time to get rid of all his stuff.

Hubby did have his tractor fleet for sale this Spring.
Got some lookers, but no buyers.
Later put out our truck & his father's for sale.
Not any lookers,, so discouraging.
