Joyride

Sometimes things don't always go as planned... or at least that's the way it happens in my life. :) This afternoon, after many adjustments and tweaks it was time to give the little Jeep a test drive. I did a quick cruise to make sure everything worked, then called Phoebe for a joyride. We put the little rig through an off road adventure, around the vacant lot next door and had a b last bouncing through all kinds of rough terrain. After Phoebe left I decided to do one more quick run up and down the driveway to capture a video for the record. This is the result... I guess I missed tightening a couple of bolts on the axle. :) 

Upside down delight

Occasionally it is easier to work on a piece upside down. We flipped the tower roof to apply the galvanized lath, and the sculpted concrete. We'll leave it upside down long enough to do the painting as well. Then we'll turn it back upright and nail on the shingles and build the crowning cap. The 'wooden' beams look fabulous already, even without their paint -thanks to a talented crew.
