Not much to say here. The The storm of the century turned out to be a bust. Weather has been cold at times but this last several days it has been in the 70s. I have been working on the shop, insulating the walls and covering with OSB, building and installing a workbench and shelves, hooking up the air compressor.

Wall with major electrical.

I have had to improve the shop electrical. I added two more power circuits, two more lighting circuits, 30A RV, 20A 240V table saw power. I also added a sub panel which powers the welder, air compressor, and dust collector, all 240V.

Plus a bunch of smaller projects, sheet rocking a closet in the sewing room, building coat racks by the entry. As for the garden, I am cutting Cedar poles for fence posts. If this weather holds I will have all the fence posts ready to build a fence sometime next week. The week after should see at least one bed boxed and hopefully two. The rest of the garden will just be planted without boxes for now. I cut sevel poles yesterday and will drag them to the garden tomorrow.

Poles for posts near the garden location.

Still a lot to do.
