There’s not been much work here in the mountains for the past few weeks so my husband started a new project. He has wanted a bar down by the pool and I told him he could start on it IF he used recycled materials. He was more resourceful than I thought. He helped his friend Mike take down some old tin roofing and ask if he could take it home. (free) Next he did a screening job at Pat and Lena’s and they had some old siding sitting around. He offered to take it off their hands. (free) He had some 2×4’s he had reclaimed from our workshop. (former owners had built a lot of storage shelves we didn’t need) (free) He had been wanting a new nail gun to make the work go faster but that wasn’t in the budget yet so he traded a work jacket his friend Thomas had given him (free) for a used nail gun from his friend Larry. (free) The only thing he had to buy was a few 2×6’s.
He’s not done yet but he is on the right track. He’s already trying out names for it. So far it’s the “Smelly Cod” “One Hand Jax” and “Rio Bravo”

My dad was building a shed by his pond. An old Navy buddy came to visit. When he saw the shed, he said…nice condo you’re building…the name stuck…….to this day, everyone calls that shed the “condo”!! Names for things are fun!!
