I have sculpts I’d like to finish, and a new one to begin for the fall fair (which will need to be painted aswell). I have a table to refinish, and four Walnut legs to build for said table. I need to purge a couple of years worth of junk from the house once the kids are back at school. Closets to thin out due to over stocking sweaters and pants. Shoes and boots to donate. Coats to sort out, and donate that which won’t fit my kids. And I have my eyes turned towards building more war gaming terrain.
Last year I ordered some texture rollers from Green Stuff world, and I intend to use them to help me build a ruined castle on a hill, with a river cut through it all. Only a 2ft by 2ft board to add to my other four. But this should offer me some new challenges. Grass, rocks, river bed, water, stone, mortar, and trees etc… I can make it playable levels, with a basement, main floor(s), and tower. I do need to start sketching up ideas, rather than fly blind. It could be a difficult build if I go at it half cocked. May have to order some supplies I’ve wanted from War Gaming Scenics , or whomever is still in business these days. Maybe some rock moulds. A grass applicator. New grasses, trees and flowers too. Could be another pipe dream.
I do have my eye on a new to me, but used Bandsaw still. If work picks up a little more deeper into summer, and throughout the fall & winter I can probably swing one or the other. New terrain build of top notch quality, or a newer, larger bandsaw for my wood shop hobby. Either way it’s going to be the tits!
I have home DIY projects to do, like power wash the back deck, and all of our exterior windows. Need to get the nozzle off the hose to be able to do that, or buy yet another new length of hose, just for my pressure washer. Since my current hand gun nozzle has seized onto the end of my only remaining water hose. I might just have to cut it off, the nozzle that is. The springs are shot, and the trigger is nolonger responsive. It has significant lag to it. Joy’s of home ownership, and property maintenance.
I really should spend a day to finish my childrens book. Get that put up on here, along with my two other books, though those two books are collected short stories. But they are books I’ve written. This third one is illustrated though. And meant for kids. My shorts are definitely not aimed at the youths. Oh no. Not at all. I can only imagine now just how long this children’s book has been in my thoughts. Five or six years by now. I’m slow rolling it for sure. I’m no GRRM, but I am taking my sweet ass time with it. Ha.
Half way into summer break now, how are you all coping with your kids, and spouses? Especially if you are married to a teacher, how you holding up? Are they starting to gear up for back to school shenanigans? Have a great Saturday, and long weekend. Ciao Bella.
