At my farm, the main project now is painting the barn while replacing the rotted wood. Two sides done and will get the other two sides in the spring. Fixing a lot of flashing while I’m at it. I’m 3/4 the way through building a kitchen at the farm. Plumbing, electrical, and drywall/paint is done, island is built and Cabinets are all built/installed (built some and found some at ReStore that I refinished). I’m doing concrete countertops but only have 1 section done and had to stop to address the exterior paint so just stuck some melamine in place for now so it’s usable. Just the countertops and tile left. I also had to replace all the shutoff valves at the farm as they were corroded and leaking. Installed a water softener after that.
At home, I’ve been working on upgrades to our new home (which we bought with no upgrades). So far, I’ve completed turning a covered porch into a 3 season room and built a window bench and bar/table for the room, built a “built in” with a base cabinet and shelves for our living room, built a trash/recycling cabinet that I added to the end of our kitchen island and completely re-did the island, added cabinets to our laundry room. Next up is a new desk/work area for my wife and then probably a custom closet.
Never been so busy as I am in retirement.
