Very well played sir!So anyway, I cut up my first wine barrel today. Part of the basement project is to cover to big cement piers that support the garage. Here’s the first one.

Piece of cake! Just keep real busy and the time will fly...I really can't wait to retire. I've put my time in, and am ready to call it quits. Only five more years to go.

Great idea and execution!So anyway, I cut up my first wine barrel today. Part of the basement project is to cover 2 big cement piers that support the garage. Here’s the first one.

Looking great Ray. Damn, all that purple just sanded away.Progress. I sanded back the color. I should have never dyed it before the glue up and finish sanding. No harm though. Another chance to improve my skills

They're a pair of cuties!! About a couple of weeks younger than Churro and Crunch. And pretty much the same character as our own two from what you tell me. No doubt they must be related!The boys are about 14 weeks old now. Just bundles of energy followed by hours of naps.

Thanks. I didn’t realize your guys were that young too. These 2 brothers have the mellowest personalities and are in separable. They’re well potty trained and have not bothered anything in the house.They're a pair of cuties!! About a couple of weeks younger than Churro and Crunch. And pretty much the same character as our own two from what you tell me. No doubt they must be related!Congrats on your lovely kitties! Those stripes make them look like little furry cinnamon rolls!
