Looked for a B forend, no find. Old Arms Idaho had a tropical forend, and w the 22" bbl looked like it might be better scale. So started sanding it to fit the McGowen .219 DWasp bbl.

Should be 2 beers and a half hour after work tonight. Problematic beater 552A can wait.

Looks like a good color match in the picture and the butt stock has some nice figure as well. Plans for it?

What’s the issue with the 552?

Get forend fitted and then get alignment bars from bud and see how much goop to bed the bases correctly.

We don't really get cabin fever down here. Can do most anything any month. As for what I'll be doing next week/month I'll have to go to one of the websites my wife belongs to and check to see what I'm doing next.

Speaking of "projects"....!

When the kid bought this place, there was a 2 room "shack" in the back yard. We pushed it down, cleaned up the antique lumber and stacked it.
On a whim, I came up with this!

A sliding "barn door"!

This side is visible from the dining room.

The rail and rollers are from a barn on our place in Oklahoma.

Also, inside the "shack" were three chairs.
I tossed them in the "useless" lumber stack and burned them to get the wood off them and throw them on the scrap trailer.

Came up with this project.

Painted them black and used the reclaimed wood to make seats and backs.


Not too bad for an old cripple! LOL!

CD2 : my disabilities force me to hire out work also, and like you whoever shows up is getting me overseeing every step, and keeping my mouth shut never happens. Not afraid to say stop I'll get someone else to anybody. Wife knows better than to tell me to "let it go, it's fine".

LOL!
I don't "hire", I just take my time and do it myself, for now! 😀!
I'm constantly having to tell the wife and kids, "I'm a cripple! NOT an invalid!"
It's my OFS kicking in! LOL!

I am not doing the sewer line. Should, and save me some money ( plus do it right ). But am too old and screwed up for that kind ( and amount ) of work.

So now i get to drink beer and supervise..... supervise my wallet going empty!

[CD2]

Have a lot to do, looks like all new sewer line. That and bathroom, plus estate stuff....turkey season is probably a no go. My head and heart aint into anything right now. I havent gone anywhere on vacation since 95.
