Where have I been lately?

Well, as you can see for the last several weeks I have not posted much (ok, nothing).  That’s because it has gotten very hectic around the Ricks household.  We have been in negotiations to buy a new home and sell our old one.  It is amazing how much energy it takes to get through something like this.  The good news is as of September 30th we will be the proud owners of a new home.  The best news is that this new home comes with a 37′ X 28′ shop.  So with all the co-motion going on, I have not stayed exactly to plan.  I have been in the shop quite a bit.  It is amazing how much of a stress reliever it is.  I will be doing an update soon on the wood working I have been doing, but for now I thought I owed you all an explanation of where I have been and what the plan is going forward.

As of late last week we started taking down the current shop.  It was in desperate need of a good cleaning anyway.  For the next couple of weeks we will be packing up the rest of the house in preparation for the move.  So needless to say for the next several weeks there will be little to no actual woodworking going on.   One of the first projects in the new house will be to get the shop insulated and heated for the winter.    Why the first project, because there is a long list of furniture projects stacking up to keep me busy over the winter.  So the project for the month of October will be to set up shop.  I will post pictures of the new shop and the progress I make on it as I go along.

Thanks again for keeping up with my exploits and look for posts to come out on a more regular bases starting this week.
