That good OLD freezer...



This freezer was given to mom and dad from Grandpa Harold and Grandma Jo and it has been running ever since dad was a kid so it's got to be at least 55 years old and Hello! It is still running! I wonder when it will ever break. Dad and I were talking about that we should put dad in the freezer when he dies and bury it at the cemetary and plug it into Wal*Mart next to the Ephraim Cemetary. That is not a bad idea, it would save us a lot money for a coffin. Dad would love it because he would be frozen solid until it breaks and then he can deteriate. Dad said to put a coat on him before we put him in it.

Labor Day Weekend Project





After spending all Saturday morning during Labor Day Weekend riding road bikes with Brach Schleuter and Steve Brown to Milburn and back, I decided to do a little project in the cabin. I built bunk beds. I spent all afternoon building them and they are strong that a 300 pound man can sleep on it. It is sweet. They are built to perfection. That way, when grandkids can visit, they can sleep in the cabin. Now 3 can sleep in there, 2 on the bunk beds and maybe one or two can sleep in the loft. They can sleep in it during the winter AND the summer, the cabin has an air conditioner and it will have an electric fire heating stove. I will buy that sometime before winter so the cabin will be ready. On the second picture you can see that I resanded the pine wood floor, there were some spots that looked bad and needed to be resanded and revarnished. I will buy some polyurithane, maybe two gallons of it and revarnish the floor and then varnish the bunk beds also. It should look beautiful when all this is done. There are still a lot of things need to be done in the cabin, I need to redo the sheetrock on one spot on the ceiling and new a new cabinet in the corner. I might buy some kind of nice soft chair for the person to sit and watch tv, a cheap chair though. I don't want to spend a lot money on the cabin but it will look really nice for guests to stay in it.
