A Friend Came To Help Me
One of my best friends came and helped me replace the floor in the attic of my shop. The shop that i just built. LOL It was a major pain in the butt. I took the old attic floor and replaced it with 3/4 plywood to make the floor stronger and i covered 80% of the floor with wood so i have more storage.
He brought another friend of ours to help. My friends had no idea that i could not do much in the way of working. I fish with them on their boats and they know after 4 hours of fishing im ready to go home. They knew i would be hurting but they did not know how much.
They did about 90% of all the work. One time during a break we were talking and they told me they had no idea how bad i really have it. They apologized for not coming and helping me more.
They remarked how it was not fair for me to go from the hardest working person they knew to having a hard time just fishing. I told them that its good because i have seen 4 grandbabies come into the world and i have seen my oldest grandbaby#5 start coming into being a young man.
I told them that i learned that my priorities were messed up when i was working 60 to 100+ hours and not being home for the family.
We had a good time replacing the floor in the attic. I have 4 sheets that i have to screw down and then i can start getting the tools off of the floor and put up until i start to sell them.
All the stuff in the attic is stuff i need to sell when i get a chance.
Right now i am trying to get my shop clean so i can try and make some knives.
I can not and will not work in a shop that is full of crap and i have to move stuff to stand in a certain place.
My shop is really that bad.
