I need a pup sitter! My poor puppy @theawesomeoscar hates the air compressor and brad nailer. Every time I go to work in the garage he retreats to his safe space in the backyard. Well yesterday I brought those tools to the backyard to install the trim on the attic opening under the patio. And Oscar was immediately trying to escape... it was sad and frustrating. I ended up taking him to the neighbors for a puppy play date to get a little work done. Then today... I delayed getting started because I didn’t want to repeat yesterday and had no where to take him... so I ended up doing all the trim work I could without the air compressor. I cut all the attic vent holes and staples on the mesh. He didn’t like it, but with lots of encouragement and belly rubs we got thru it... hence the high fives and smiles! 😊 Now just to figure out when I can get these installed!!! 😬

Welcome to my new back patio.... I mean my messy back patio!!! 😆 It’s not done yet, but I do get to work in the shade (all roof panels are up) to button up the attic. Plus, I have the swamp cooler running so that helps a little. And if you didn’t see my stories I decided to go with a vertical shiplap.... against the vote, 90% of you voted for horizontal. I might be crazy, but I think it will look awesome and will definitely be easier to install! Only time will tell. 😊 Now I gotta go talk nice to my jigsaw and see if we can get these shiplap boards installed!!!

Working on the back patio has my tools all over the place... in the shop, on the pool table and around the backyard. But this S-Biner from @niteize has helped with moving my extension cord from the shop to the backyard and back again. It also helps keep it up and out of the way when not in use. Do you have any shop gadgets you can’t live without?

This is how we spent our Friday night!!! Not the most fun night, but we do only have six roofing panels left... and then flashing and buttoning up the attic and a million other little things.... but we are getting close people! I can taste it!

This project has probably been the biggest DIY project we have tackled and boy has it been a challenge. Trying to find time between the day jobs, not knowing how to do things and then learning new skills and battling the heat. Can you believe we started by tearing our old concrete 3 months ago!!! But I know once we are on the other side of this project.... we will be saying it was all worth it!!! Hoping that day comes soon! 😆🍊
