With several former Rolla Goomers coming in this week for our 12th annual Rolla Boy gathering at the cabin, I was inspired to fix a few things that have needed fixing for quite some time. I replaced a leaky kitchen faucet (after consulting with Plumbing wiz and fellow cousin, Duster Man Volkart), gutted the toilet and installed all new tank equipment, fixed one of the kitchen cabinets that was coming apart, replaced some light bulbs and made a few other minor repairs I'd been putting off for some unknown reason.
The cabin is now just about completely up to snuff. Today I'll eradicate some pesky red wasp and try to figure out why my doggone floor electrical outlets don't work (they actually stopped working about 8 years ago, but again....).
Speaking of cousins, I'm thinking about enlisting the help of cousin Darin (formerly known as "Damon" of "Damon, Damon and Damon") to help set up my welding operation, once I've finished the inside of the barn. My only experience with welding was in Mr. Wytick's 8th grade metal shop class in the early 1970's. I'm guessing that experience won't get me a job with Trinity Industries as a welding inspector, but with some brushing up and tutelage from Darin, maybe I can eventually do a little welding on my old trailer. If I get decent before I get sidetracked on some other project, maybe I can weld up a new gate or two. I'll keep you posted....
