Hi all,
Good news, power is up!

Hi Everyone, It's been a little while since I've had an update, but I ended up tearing a meniscus, and that's making me pretty slow to move. Along with that, I have just a few days left to move everything out of my old shop into storage c...
Priorities are strange. I have a huge list of projects on Bonesnapper Ridge, but what came up as the highest priority? The gate opener. Yep, even before power. This is the first project that I am going to build and blog about.
