Puttering around Garage Shed !

 Well, I got the Hinges done and Hardware done and rebraced the Garage !

.

.

I installed overdue Handle, Sliding Bolt and then an upper sliding bolt to close the doors from the inside so I can latch doors from the inside now or the outside !

.

.

The Garden Shed doors have hinges that were painted over that have "Bugged" me so I corrected the issue !

.

.

Probable used more Frog Tape than I needed but got them Spray Painted !

.

.

Hinges all painted black Spray and now I have to put a nice coat of semi Gloss exterior Paint on them now !

.

.

Corner of Garage Rebuilt and new Hardware on Doors will now find another Project to work on !

.

.

Next Project is gonna be this back roof,  It is rolled Half Lap and in Winter Builds up a lot of Ice !  Probably not a lot of Insulation between the roof and ceilings below !

.

.

There is 4 rows of over lapping rolled roofing on lower part of the rood which has a slight pitch , upper roof is 3-1 shingles with a 3/12 pitch !

.

.

The bottom edge that I had to put roof coating on is the area I plan on putting 2 rows of rolled metal on.  Gonna get some price quotes on it as I'm not gonna do it !

.

.

The front roof does not build up Ice as the edges have 2 feet of Metal Ice Popper Panels !  These Panels are taller in the center than the edges and seams and when Ice Builds up on the edger over them and pushes them down they Pop back up forcing the Ice to break and slide off !

.

Temps up outside

 Well, it is back warmed up and Humid so have to be careful,, drink lots of water and eat a lot of Watermelon !   I found out Watermelon really helps rehydrate the Body while in the Hospital.

.

.

 Not supposed to but I love "Spitting the Seeds" !!!!!

.

. 

Since we have lived her a few years I have wanted to get the hinges and hardware painted on the Garden Shed and this Morning I started it until it got too hot !

.

. 

While I was puttering around My Honey weeded and dead headed the flowers in the Garden and is getting ready to dig and transplant the Rhubarb Bed !.

.

.

I took off some hardware and cleaned it up for painting !

.

.

I like Black Hardware against a white Background so spraying the hardware for the doors Black Spray !

.

.

While I was doing the Hardware My Honey was putting on a coat of BINZ exterior coating on the "Christmas Angel" we have had for years and Years !  Next coat of Paint is gonna be Exterior White Enamel !

.

.

Weeding Done, I'm Done, Temps are up to about 80+ and Humid so inside and into the Air conditioning!

Slowing down ?

 I read my Blog Friend Jack's Post and he mentioned about being "Tired" or "Over Doing" !!

You can read about it at:   Shipslog (shipslog-jack.blogspot.com .

.

We cleaned the Car yesterday, Inside and out,  I went and got the Shop Vac and stood on my Head and  lay on my side and got under the seats, in all the cracks and really got it clean. 

Well, after we ate I was beat, I mean the kind of tired where I got in my recliner, leaned back about 1 and dozed off till 4:30 in time to get up and get ready for dinner.

.

.

   I even went to Bed early and had no problem falling right off to sleep after sleeping this hard in the afternoon  !

.

I seem to forget that I am not that young, tireless person who could conquer anything from start to finish !

.

. 

Painted all the Basement walls from start to finish 4 years ago !

.

.

Fixing the cellar sink before painting the walls !

.

Now I find that after an Hour or 2 of "working/Puttering "around I have to stop,   I run out of Steam ! 

.

. 

I know now I have to slow down or I can get into a little trouble !

.

.

This is what happens when I over do it now and I hope I am smart enough to slow down !

.

. 

I would rather be here like I was on this picture of my 65th Birthday !.

.

Warmed up

We had a nice 1 day cool down but the Temps have gone right back up to Hot and Humid,  This is not a complaint, just a statement because "Old Man Winter" is not that far off !

.

.

We had some nasty wind other night and it tore several holes in my Awning, it's several years old so we did get our Monies worth on it,  Probably will need a new cover this fall for next year !

.

.

The raised bed garden has some nice Leaf Lettuce we have been having on our sandwichs and it is good, also handy to pick with out having to bend over,   The vine growing is my Morning Glory and it is about a Month behind  this year !!

.

.

This is what the Morning Glories should look like by now !!!!

.

The Glads are also way behind this year,  this is what they are right now ! 

.

.

This is what they were last year at the end of July,  much taller and ready to Blossom !

.

.

.

. 

St. Francis Circle is doing great, all weeded and growing nicely !

.

.

My Honey relaxing after yard work !!

.

.

"Chipper" is eating well and already can see where he has buried Sunflower Seeds as they have started to Sprout,  They say a Squirrel or Chipmunk forgets in 10 minutes where they buried seeds to dig up later.  The ones they do remember are the ones that they store up for winter food!

.

.

The last Cups of Grape Jelly for the Baltimore Oriole's as it is only the young ones coming in now and its time to wean them off so the forage for food,  The Adults have not been around for several weeks !

Lewis County Fair

The Lewis County Fair is always in July and we try to get up there for at least 1 day !  This year we too My Honeys Mother and went "To The Fair" !

.

.

Lewis County is a county located in the state of New York. The population is about  27,000 people. Its county seat is Lowville. The county is named after Morgan Lewis, the Governor of New York.

.

.

.

Our first stop is usually the Cattle and Horse Barns and look over Animals.

.

.

The Black and White Holsteins are my Favorites as that is what we had on the Farm that I learned to milk first by Hand and then learned to use a Milking Machine !

.

.

The next favorite is the Brown Jersey which my Uncle had,  this one is high in Butter fat Milk !

.

.

The Midway was crowded so we went for Fair Food !

.

.

My Meal was French Fries, Polish Sausage and a Coke and water to Hydrate !

.

.

The ladies ate Steak-Um and French Fries !

.

. 

After our Meal we walked the Midway and the Heat and Humidity were so bad we left !  it was over 90 degrees and 60% Humidity !
