It's FRIDAY!

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Judging by the traffic along the I-95 yesterday, a lot of people are out of town already.

I'd imagine lots of people are away for Labor Day.
Busy getting kids back to school.
Entertaining family.
etc...

Hope you have a great holiday weekend.

I'd like to see my dad.
Been so busy with this deck/porch.

I cannot find anyone who wants to help with plastic.
Fiberon is heavy and floppy.
Kleer is light and floppy, and obviously there is the dust...

Good morning everyone. Taking the trash to the dump and working on a minivan today. My wife is selling crafts at the farm day in Bolton today, so I may head down there.

And Jim, if you were closer I would love to help. I'm on the other end of the state though.

Now i have to go furniture shopping with my mom since she decided to sell half the furniture in the house...Tom can i borrow your trailer?
