Still working on these, but I got the background color and some koi on. The Koi will be a white base with color over the white. My 10 yo son has wanted to help. I don't want to say no, but he's getting my anxiety up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9e8f60ea7c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...76c98ee248.jpg

Looks great, Tim!

wow looks great

I had several small projects

1. I had roots from a neighbors tree under my pavers and thus pulling them up and growing towards foundation. So had to get rid of the roots and redo the pavers in that area.
2. my grill was not working right so I needed to replace 3 burners, the spark ignitors and a few other things. And major cleaning but now it is back and ready for the grilling season.
3. Next I need to repaint my shed.

and this is not counting my wife's Honey Do List for me :D:D

Some great stuff

I wish I was as skilled with my hands to make things like these.

On the flip side I am the guy that enjoys buying things that were hand made by local people, neighbors friends. Or those small shops

Canning peaches. We have 13 boxes of Red Globe peaches. It'll come out to approximately 140+

Day 1 went very slow. We had 5 jars break which made us boil slower, trying to prevent more from breaking. We haven't had this problem in previous years.

Wow and God Bless.
It looks tasty but it looks tedious and time consuming

They are the best tasting canned peaches I've ever had. My mother in laws recipe. It is tedious. Usually we run 2 or 3 stations, which makes that many peaches disappear quickly, but this year we were down to one. On day two and three I took peaches to another house so we could run two stations and it moved faster.

My mother in law has asked for a camp stove for Christmas.

The wood working looks fantastic - what talent. The cornhole game looks professional and will get lots of use. The peaches look delicious. Oh, the bar-b-q looks great too.

Good job guys!

I had my driveway repaved and my house eaves and trim repainted - but I didn't do it. Too old to climb ladders very much and don't have the equipment for the repaving.

I did get a new zero turn mower, and yes, I do mow my property and my neighbors!
