Wood Stove

-
Image
I rebuilt a wood stove I had in storage. The only textual items on the stove is "Made in West Germany". After puzzling about how to repair the broken leg (everything from welding with tungston rod to fabricating a splice), I found a similar replacement foot. It was similar, so I ended up buying two in order to make it look and set right. It was a fun "little" project. It cost me about $150 in materials and probably took me about 8 hours. I am looking forward to getting it fired up at some point. Since it is going back into storage I am wrapping it up with as much rust inhibitor as I can. I bought some VCI paper for the effort.

Views of North Georgia

I flew up to the North Georgia mountains today. The first pic shows the observation station on top of Brasstown Bald , the tallest mountain in Georgia. Here is a pic of me in the S2000 in the Brasstown Bald visitor parking lot which you can see in the first pic. From blog in 2016 It is interesting to see the perspective change from Sports Car to Airplane.

Building Moving Day

-
Image
In working on the church Thriftshop we decided to move a small building. After a couple of attempts I got it done. We had to take the building out onto Holcomb Bridge Road. Don't tell any one and I aplologize for the extra traffic congestion it caused. We used some interesting equipment made by Cardinal manufacturing to move small buildings.

Snow in Atlanta

-
Image
It is snowing in Atlanta. It is pretty close to the forecasts. Best not to drive for sure, not because of my driving skills, but other's lack of skills. It is almost funny. Living in Upstate NY, especially in the rural hilly area I can appreciate what we did on a normal basis in NY, other folks not so much.
