Pause at TNT

I was able to finish the job of putting tongue and groove cedar inside the sauna at TNT this week. Felt good to finally get it done. I thought they would need my help with some other things as well, but they found out that there are some big structural issues with the remodel, so the budget is a little uncertain at the moment. Hopefully I can go back at some point down the road. It is a relief to get a pause to work more on the workshop and to have more time to get the house in order. 

This was Naomi's first full week at work. It went pretty well! The girls had a good time at school too. We got a bit of snow and that made things interesting, but it is pretty much gone now. We are adjusting to the new routine and overall it is good. 

In the workshop I started putting the dust collector together. That is one intimidating machine! It will probably take 7-8 hours just to assemble it. I got the air compressor and the jointer up and running. Slowly it begins to take shape. Also put in an order for the lumber to build a few walls down there. 

On Saturday we went to Escanaba for a gingerbread house workshop. The girls had a lot of fun there. We found a Christmas tree in the afternoon and enjoyed some great food. Even got to have the long awaited pumpkin pie. This morning I picked up some lumber from Kile that he didn't want. He will bring up my order along with a bit more he has in a couple weeks. Just need to figure out where to put everything!
