Finishing the Bench

This has definitely been one of my most difficult and complex projects. Nice to wrap it up this morning. Putting the parts back together and taking pictures. Don't have a good spot for the pictures, so I guess I will use the workshop. Tomorrow we will have dinner with the client, but I don't want to deliver it quite yet as I would like the finish to cure a bit longer before transporting it, and it's also nice to enjoy it for a bit. 

Started building a portable composting toilet. Just a cedar box for a 5 gallon bucket. Winging it. Scraps from TNT. Hopefully it will work as I did not think through the design. Also met with a friend who can do the plumbing for a sink and toilet downstairs. Bought a fridge yesterday (will pick it up in a few weeks) and some tiles for the wood stove. Found a new door into the garage but it opened the wrong way. So close. Lots of projects in the pipeline. Garage door spring broke, but I was able to take it apart and order a new one. Great design!

The girls had a good week. Amélie got to take care of the neighbor's cat and she is great at it. They didn't fight too much. I got a bit sick and so did Amélie, but we had a nice afternoon with just the two of us on Wednesday as they had a half day. Abigail got to play with a friend - first time here in the US. Naomi is very busy at work as this is her registration period, but she is managing it. She has a fun week lined up while I take the girls down to visit family for spring break. Back to winter, which is strange, but the ski hill is closed. Bummer. They really had a rough season. 

Broken spring - inside the housing. So nice. No special tools needed.

We made a fruit salad!

Finished up a cutting board with the help of my friend who has a laser.
