Well since nobody was impressed with my "Easement Shed". Here is my kitty jail, when we are out of town. It is more for keeping a neighbor cat out, than keeping my cat in.
My daughter named the prison "Pawshank"

Steve S, you don't often see kitchens with blue in them, but I love it. Here is a pic of one side of my current kitchen, the second one with blue cabinets I have had:
It's close to the same blue as in your photo.

Phylp, While the kitchen I posted earlier is nice , what really makes it stand out is the retro color of the appliances and pendants. Credit goes to the homeowner for being bold enough to pull the trigger on the colors. Your kitchen looks great by the way! Cheers

Sal, I definitely appreciate your easement shed, it looks great. And you would be wise to not allow any Rita Heyworth posters in 'Pawshank', methinks.
Steve wear all those appliances custom enameled? The cabinets look great.
Wilbeer, isn't remodeling in New England fun? Strong work, as always.

Given I'm now crammed in a corner of the basement here in pdx, I'd kill for the the four carriage garage and small barn I had in Francestown, NH. But, I was way, way too busy with r&d work back then and didn't have time to spit on my own. A couple of months after we moved in back in '85...
And about the time we moved out two years later for the promise of a snow-and-bug-free PDX...
Mostly landscaping and working on the carriage garage, the house was early 1700s and didn't really need any work other than we extending the chimney by three feet to what it is in the pics.

OK, these are massive and impressive projects. I love the trailer. Could easily be a mobile surfboard shaping bay. Anyway, my contribution is a set of really good surfboard thickness calipers that I built from 100% recycled crap wood and an old metal ruler I found under my workbench. And it took two nights to do this. And I drank beer while working power tools like a Home Depot jig saw. Yeah, I rock. Now people ordering boards will get thickness measurements pretty close to what I write on the blank.

Packable 50W HF amp for amateur radio (ham radio). So my lightweight HF radio that only throws out 5W can now push 50W from a mountain top. Fun project from a kit.

Do you know what professionals call the process of creating 432 adjustable shelf holes with a hand drill and jig?
It's commonly called: "boring."

I'd call drilling all those holes 'Nightmare!'.

Windows and doors going in.
The giant sliders are by Western. They slide with minimal effort.

I was thinking about some driveway storage dug into my drive. They'd be buried on 3 sides and partially on the top.... then I googled burying storage containers.... Not recommended.

What do you mean 'not recommended'? There are people building buried homes with them...
[edit] Ah, I see the concern. It appears the canonical answer for the lateral pressure issue is to use Gabion baskets lined against on the outside perimeter of the containers to be buried.

I've finally figured out what to do when I retire!
My wife says we are in no position for me to even think about retiring. She's gonna ride this horse hard and put me away wet. At least she lets me climb.
