Well I spent the weekend cutting and plaining but I like the end result. Added a new ceiling to my sunroom this weekend. Anybody else have any projects they are working on now.

Looks good! I made a rod holder for the garage but it only took me about an hour so I don't know if you'd classify it as a project.

I pulled the non-working LCD screen from a working game camera and it replaced it with a working LCD screen from a non-working camera.



Slow weekend.

What kind of planer? How much did it cost you? Would you recommend it?

It's a craftsman it's done everything I have needed it to do. Sometimes it can bite the ends of the boards. I want to say 199.00 was the price

Cool. I was wondering if those lower-dollar ones would get the job done for most small projects. (prices of "quality" planers were making my arse pucker). Thanks for the feedback.

I like that, it looks great.

I decided I wanted to save a few thousand bucks and build my own plantation shutters. one pair down about 20 more pairs to go.

I am in the process of enclosing my back porch for more living space. I started tearing down the bricks off of the back of the house this weekend.
