Cabin Garage Siding Nailed-In-Place
The garage siding is up and waiting to be baptized with some wind and rain.
The handrail for the back steps is ready for installation today. And the painters are suppose to show up and finish their job. We'll see!
The handrail is for Gramps because of his war wound and gimpy leg. He is having it put in because as he so eloquently says, "That back door is the shortest and quickest way to the creek and catfish, and I don't wanna fall down and be slowed down!" So, there is the definitive answer for you if you had asked the question: "Why?"

Very nice extension, Jay, I really like it... Is a chimney on the roof provided in case of extreme cold in the future?
ReplyDeleteAll the best...
Phil.
Hi, Phil, thanks! No chimney, but a smoke stack for the potbelly stove is on order and will be installed soon (Heh heh...whatever that translates into). :0)
DeleteThat's a fine looking garage Jay! And it's good you thought about Gramps!

Thanks a lot, Peter. Respect for your elders is a key value in hillbilly land; especially when the elder's Still is the bread winner for the family!
DeleteNice extension , great .
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Thank you, kind Maestro.
DeleteThey way you´ve added it looks very natural and realistic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mr. Bodman. The construction is up to hillbilly standards...if it works don't change it. Squared corners are OK if they come out that way! I was striving for a utilitarian look, looks like I hit my mark.
DeleteGreat work here young man. Gramps and his gimpy leg will thank you for that handrail. I have to have one for my gimpy leg too! My daughter calls me Hobbles.
ReplyDeleteHi, Anne: Thanks. We can't have the patriarch falling, somebody else would have to do his chores!
DeleteIsn't g.....g old fun? My legs are OK; but one hip is not a happy camper. Our travels down the Road of Life are a true adventure.
Now I've heard these ol' cars rust way too fast. At least this one will do it slower. Great work!
ReplyDeleteThis Checkered Cab is a fairly new one. They don't salt the roads out here in Possum County during the snow period, so it takes a while longer for rust to start its magic.
DeleteNormally, Gramps WWII Jeep, that he got from Joe's Army Navy Surplus Store, rests comfortably in the garage. However, Gramps is out checking-out the North-Forty in the Willys, and Cousin Homer Allen, cab driver, has popped-in at the farm to eat brunch in Gramma's kitchen and grab a short nap.
Thats looking very nice sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, Mr. Smillie! Our hobby is fun and satisfying to the soul.
DeleteThings are certainly coming along apace, more wonderful additions.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael.
DeleteMaybe the painters should work a little bit faster ? ... but it's so difficult to find effective workers!
ReplyDeleteThe handrail? useful in case of too much beer and whiskey...maybe?
Good work Jay !
Hi, Phil. The painters are slow, but they are cousins to the Meyers, good coating mechanics, and they work pretty cheap.
DeleteYes, Sir, the handrail has a multitude of uses. Very clever, Phil.
Ok, Ray!! I'm Sam ! do you need a handrail too ? (what's time is it in your far country ?????)
DeleteDoop! Sorry, Bill! My mind must have stumbled for a second while writing the comment. |:0)
DeleteI owe you two comments on your next blog. Or could you use a flying pig?
I hope at least have an answer next time, and not in the name of Sam! Oh, yes, I read all comments, not only mine...is this impolite?
DeleteGreetings to you both ...
Phil.
NOT SAM...
It is not often that the Ol' Grizz gets a red neck, but I am blushing and sweating now. Have mercy on me, please!
DeleteI forgive you! (and I'm sure that Phil do it also!)
Deleteit's too funny those discussions for nothing !
Too often, on blogs, the comments and the replies (when they exist!) are short and without feed-back!
Ok, Jay, I forgive you too...this time! Have a good day!
DeleteRegards,
Phil.
My fellow model-gaming-brothers-from-a-far-away-land I am elated by your generosity, and I shall drink a sip or two of what Gramps always prescribes for "making things better!" (A nap will probably help too)
DeleteJay that is amazing and shows your skills off to the max.
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you to say so, PK. We are enjoying ourselves aren't we?!
DeleteYou're making wonderful progress Jay. I'm jealous! That's really going to look great on the table.
ReplyDeleteHi, Friend. Thanks. That is the plan (Subjectively of course).
Deletegood job my friend..:)
ReplyDeleteHi, Erhan. Thanks, Sir.
DeleteLovely work Jay. I am sure Gramps appreciates your effort on his behalf!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rodger. He does, but I still can't drink my Root Beer at family parties.
DeleteTop work, Jay. We've got builders toiling away at our homestead at the moment, so I know what you're going through!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Gunny. Thanks!
DeleteHope you are adapting well to lots of noise and inconveniences. I trust that in the end the toils and labors of the various workers will be worth the funny thoughts that dash through your mind and the mumbles which drip forth from you lips! Keep a sharp eye on the painters. I was one for 35+ years and have seen it all.
That garage is ace!
