Had a good day. Church first, then Oregon Logging Conference, then Aquarium Store fir salt and frozen food. I think I'm going to try and get Duncans and frogspawn from them next month. They said they'd sell me the frogspawn for $10 a head. They're closed for remodeling now, but available by appointment.
 
Love this song
My wife's favorite band and one of my favorites, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Metallica, Chicago, Boney M, Kool & The Gang...........

I will, just as soon as I get my walls framed up and I can start moving stuff around. It's a mess as I've had to spread everything around to make room here and there :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: once finished I'm building a rack system for a bunch of totes to organize the basement haha

$10 a head seems like a steal!

I need to get back to church. Been awhile. Been a few times lately but the wife struggles with bringing the baby as he's too young to understand what's going on and basically one of us has to sit in the hall with him or something during service while he runs around

Alright, since you and @00W are pressuring me, I'll go snap a couple pictures. No judgement haha it's a ABSOLUTE MESS. Also, the wall that is up is all from the previous person who built so the framing is super wonky and piece mealed. That said, one sides getting plywood and the others gonna get strapping and v-match pine boards, and it's not structural haha.
