Post by: sparky on June 09, 2013, 01:41:01 AM

What a nice getaway.  I like that 1965 Chevy pickup your neighbor has.  A place like that requires a lot of initial work but it's worth it...if you live long enough to enjoy it.  Dee

Looks Awesome Sparky!! You'll need to clean them gutters 6 times a year. My house is surrounded by trees and I use one of THESE (http://www.sears.com/craftsman-gutter-cleaning-accessory-kit/p-00916935000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1) hooked up to my shop vac.

Sparky, it don't make no never mind if she's the boss or not.  Important thing is that she allows you to live there and to bring your outside toys tools  ;D  Nice job on the fence.  The puppies are going to love it.

Did you sit down and enjoy a nice cold FT, or two, after all that work?  Great looking place.  That would be hard to leave to rejoin the rat-race.

I thought I was.  I seem to work more than 40 hours retired than I did working.  I take a lot more Tylenol being retired too.  I might have to go back to work part time so I can have down time.   :P

I retired three times and went back to work every time. Starting this past January I decided to "semi retire" and cut back from 40 hours to 20, like you I seem to have much less free time than when I was working 40 hours.

Nice little shack you got there.  Looks like a great place to unwind, fish, BBQ, and have a few ft's
