Back in Big Sky Country!
I have been home about three weeks now and I have been quite busy settling back in. I am so happy to be back with my wife, Rita, and my two dogs.
The geography here is so good to see again. Here is the view out my backyard towards the Yellowstone River.
The first thing I had to do was unpack and start settling back into my life at home and in my shop. I have been working for most of the last 4 1/2 years just north of Columbus, OH on some great projects. But I am determined to stay home now and ship or deliver any future projects.
Next I had to start making contacts all over town to let the people of Billings know that I am back and offering my services in my own home town. I have made more contacts than ever before. I know that there will be a delay before calls start coming in so I had to do this immediately.
I have been looking at a few remodel jobs and working on some bids, but I realized that I need to increase efficiency in my shop before I get too much going.
I ran some more circuits and started closing the walls up with sheetrock. I am very excited to see the shop getting brighter already. It will make it easier to heat with the walls properly closed up too.
Things are a bit cramped since I had to pull everything away from the wall to work. I will do this section and even paint it. Then I can move everything back and pull the stuff away from the wall and execute the next section. I will add more circuits and close the walls up with sheetrock and paint. I can't wait!
I really haven't had much time to get online and share with the great LJ brothers or to check out the projects and read the blogs.
I just realized that I have not even added my closet into the projects section yet. I blogged it so heavily but I need to add it to the brag board.
Gotta get back out and add another coat of mud. I am so happy to be back in my own shop!

Todd, the shop is coming together. I am sure that you are happy to be in your space again. This is your small corner of the world. I assume that once the drywall is up and painted then you will be starting on some shop cabinetry? After all this is a new shop and it sure beats shoveling snow.Home Again (JOY!)

I will do small jobs myself but I hire out the bigger jobs and overhead jobs for sure.
I hung the lid in my shop but I paid someone to tape and finish out the mud on it. My sheetrock jobs are tight and tapers love following after I hang the rock.

--glad to see and hear your happy with joy, at being back in your own workspace!
Okay, everyone else is looking inside your shop….while I'm dreaming in that first photo up there. What a beautiful piece of country you reside in. I can tell you I don't know anything about the Yellowstone River, but that will change shortly since I'm going too Dr. Google and will find out more. Your photo there has got me dreaming of water….white water and canoes//kayaking, which is coming my way soon. I guess I'll pull a topographic off the shelf and look at the water table around you. I know your a climber, so I'm wondering if you do any canoing or kayaking?
What a pleasant way to start my day as I sit here dreaming about kayaking this spring and summer, as I look out my office window and see fields of snow. Ha….ha, did I ever mention that last year, (winter) I bought our two recent kayaks in the middle of a snowstorm here…..oh well.
Have a great day and keep the mud on the pad and off the head….
Thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank
White walls, perfect for, hmmm - video work and photography. Glad you're home and really moving into the shop. I'm betting with Thos. that you'll be busy before you get finished tricking things out.Home Again (JOY!)
Back in Big Sky Country!
I have been home about three weeks now and I have been quite busy settling back in. I am so happy to be back with my wife, Rita, and my two dogs.
The geography here is so good to see again. Here is the view out my backyard towards the Yellowstone River.
The first thing I had to do was unpack and start settling back into my life at home and in my shop. I have been working for most of the last 4 1/2 years just north of Columbus, OH on some great projects. But I am determined to stay home now and ship or deliver any future projects.
Next I had to start making contacts all over town to let the people of Billings know that I am back and offering my services in my own home town. I have made more contacts than ever before. I know that there will be a delay before calls start coming in so I had to do this immediately.
I have been looking at a few remodel jobs and working on some bids, but I realized that I need to increase efficiency in my shop before I get too much going.
I ran some more circuits and started closing the walls up with sheetrock. I am very excited to see the shop getting brighter already. It will make it easier to heat with the walls properly closed up too.
Things are a bit cramped since I had to pull everything away from the wall to work. I will do this section and even paint it. Then I can move everything back and pull the stuff away from the wall and execute the next section. I will add more circuits and close the walls up with sheetrock and paint. I can't wait!
I really haven't had much time to get online and share with the great LJ brothers or to check out the projects and read the blogs.
I just realized that I have not even added my closet into the projects section yet. I blogged it so heavily but I need to add it to the brag board.
Gotta get back out and add another coat of mud. I am so happy to be back in my own shop!
Peace, Love, and Woodworking
Glad to see you back Todd. mikeHome Again (JOY!)

Grad to see that you have something to fill the days with Todd. After 4 1/2 years I figure that the Honey-do-list would be out the front door.Home Again (JOY!)
