Haven't cut any wood since the tree top fell on my cab 3 weeks ago. Wife said it was time to redo the kitchen before I killed myself. Wanted it nice for the wake party I guess. New electrical, new counter tops, new sink and taps and new ceramic tile back splash. Just finished it tonight so hopefully heading to the bush or a wood pile tomorrow. She wants the flooring done too but not doing it until fall at least. I suggested live edge for the counter tops from my sawmill but she said no way, hates live edge. Also had the flu for 3 weeks and it's been knocking the hell out of me. Wife's Uncle died on Tuesday from flu complications, old fella but flu none the less.

woodchip, I spent 2 years building my shop so had to even it out a bit. She wanted the shop more than I did though. $4000 in materials for the kitchen so far, we did all the work ourselves so no labor, just like cutting firewood. I'm planning a sawmill shed so I need to get some brownie points stored up.

Busy day, just in for a bite to eat then hit the water and see if I can feed some fish :). Got oil on both paddles. Some tweaking to do, but overall happy to get them wet next weekend and see if they actually work. Quite a bit of experimenting of the shapes has gone on, so how they paddle is anyones guess.

They look great! I wish I could make stuff like that but my skill set tends more towards destruction, which is rather easier than creation.
