I do like the size of that shop. I am outgrowing mine. Too many projects and junk

My pops and I are jazzed, we've always wanted a nice big shop...we can't wait to get it put together and organized.

Organized shop? Isn't that something that disappears once you start working in it?

Ah, the old, "Craigslist freebie kitchen cabinets in the shop" trick!

Works for me!

How are you going to heat that place in the winter?

We haven't gotten that far yet, but we're thinking either diesel torpedo style or propane infrared. We do have a gas station around the corner where we can get both if needed.
We also are thinking about having some spray foam insulation applied inside...it would certainly help keep Temps regulated...

A pic of the backyard. It's nice having a lush, green yard again, not just dirt and weeds, lol

Got my latest numbers at dialysis yesterday. My creatinine level went from 6 to 3.25 in a week, my target number to get off of dialysis is 2. So, hopefully, it won't be long before I'm off. The rest of my labs are great, as well.

Kidneys are healing. Good. Did the doc give you a bunch of diet stuff to do for a while to help reduce the work they need to do? If not, I think it would be worth looking at.

My doc wanted me to take $1000 of pills a month forever to solve my psoriatic arthritis. I completely fixed it with an occasional Aleve, but mainly by cutting a couple things from my diet.

Of course, I've been on a renal diet since the hospital. Took some getting used to, but over time I'm finding more recipes that are actually pretty good...but I do miss cheese, and tomatoes...

Will do...

Yesterday I went out and about with my pops for the first time, running errands and such. Drove past the Oahe dam, it's absolutely gorgeous out there, found a public shooting range, archery range, and large recreational areas, boat ramps, etc...



Also went to Menards, where we bought a new grill/smoker. Wore me out. Off to dialysis today.
