I was thinking of making a screen door for the shop to keep the flies out in the summer, That's something I could do over the winter come to think of it...lol

Generally it stays cooler in the summer if I don't open the doors in the shop and why I haven't bothered building one. I have plenty of cedar I milled years ago that I could make it out of...

I gave away a good air conditioner when we put central in the house and later thought I should have put it in the shop, when help with the humidity too...

Good evening Illinois, and Ford Truck fans, Ken, Pat, Sean, John, Rod, and Don!

Welcome to the Winter Solstice, come on Spring, 88 more days.

https://days.to/spring/2019

Was a cool but uneventful day here in the River City today. 42°, no rain, no white crap, no sun, no shlt! LOL

Weather guy said tonight that we'll have a brown Christmas for sure!
