Pretty sure I will be able to do that soon with tequila bottles.

Looking good, brudder! I've got 10 more new windows going in my place that need to be trimmed out if you're available.So we got the cabin painted.
Long overdue, and well worth it.

Very pleased that orange stain on the deck is out of my life.
Byproduct is that now that everything isn’t a uniform coat of brown, missing trim on the workshop windows is kinda obvious.
Of course I turn to my man @SmooveP the wood whisperer.
He helped me match the profile on some cedar 1x4’s

And loaned me a saw to do the cuts for length

He gave me some tips, Family Handyman gave me some too, but kinda ended up winging it.
4 windows, with the panes mounted 3 different ways.
Needed to be creative.

Mostly came out okay.
Figured out by the second one that dry fitting with a single nail in each was the trick.
Panel gaps are not Carson approved, but good enough for the girl I go with.

I’ll slap some paint on next week.
Don’t want @MrsManic to get used to high paced chores list action.

Have had any luck trying to match the split log siding at any time? I can't seem to find anything even remotely matching anywhere (so didn't the previous owner, the 'expansions' to the original house were built using a completely different size and profile split log and in some places they even left gaps to try and match the log spacing rather than make sure the wall was sealed, thank fully that was only on the external furnace room).So we got the cabin painted.

Once, a while ago we had to replace a single board, our guy didn’t mention any problems finding it, but this was pre-pandemic.Have had any luck trying to match the split log siding at any time? I can't seem to find anything even remotely matching anywhere (so didn't the previous owner, the 'expansions' to the original house were built using a completely different size and profile split log and in some places they even left gaps to try and match the log spacing rather than make sure the wall was sealed, thank fully that was only on the external furnace room).
Wohoo, casting deck is done minus the handles! I put the seats in as well. I’m working towards the rear now and want to get the back deck finished and engine mounted by the weekend. Then I’ll have a much shorter list to get to after that. Putting in more seats, complete the side storage, hookup the engine and trolling motor, a bunch more odds and ends, and get this thing in the water!

Maybe he likes having a full set of fingers.Convert to torsion springs. You got this.

Yes good catch! Done by the previous owner so I’ll add that to the list. I deleted the stock bow light so that will be important.Are those bow nav lights? might be flipped?
I love my lift master. So glad I converted to Jack shaft opener. So much nicer.and a jack shaft opener! Clean!
If you’re not in a rush, I may have a slightly used set of 140lb 27.5” springs for you.Lowes in Paramus- looks like there are 8 in stock at Mt Olive....
I swear I looked online the last few weeks couldn’t find any. Will be there later.Lowes in Paramus- looks like there are 8 in stock at Mt Olive....
nah I’m good now. The online inventory app at lowes is crap I should have called sooner but tonight they only had 3 left and one of them the box was open.If you’re not in a rush, I may have a slightly used set of 140lb 27.5” springs for you.
Weighed the door, 140 even, old springs were 140’s, but had to finagle a bit to get it where it is, but still feels like springs are too strong.
Will re-weigh tomorrow.
Now, beer.
