I just had to post about DH and another project. This last week I was suffering with the dreaded flu/cold. After seven days, I think I will make it. Meanwhile DH worked on this project. The waste oil furnace was given to us by a dear friend. Thank you, Carl. DH has spent countless hours getting it running, which it now is doing quite well. He then had to secure several 50 gallon barrels of waste oil (the end product of changing the oil in your car). A friend has converted his furnace to propane and has about 200 gallons of fuel oil in his basement. Actually it is in a fuel tank in his basement. DH is making a pump specifically to pump it out. See, another gift brings about a project. Since the shop is quite full, it was decided to put the furnace on very tall legs, so the area under it could be utilized for other activities. He used the lift for support and welded on leg extensions. It so much reminded me of pictures of the Trojan Horse. It has now been moved to its resting spot, but a ladder is needed to service it. And we will be warm when working out in the shop this winter.
Oh wait! I think the agreement was that we (DH and myself) would work one year on the Shop, getting it organized, and then spend time on the house. I'll keep you posted on that. We do have projects scheduled for the house.
