Its the End of March...and hopefully Winter

Another winter is coming to an end and not soon enough for us. Next week are heading to Las Vegas for a few days and hope to return to sprouting grass...since I planted 20 lbs of it Friday.

If you are wondering about the sorry looking Pinon in front of the patio, I have been taking it down piece by piece so Marlys won't know when it is gone and the view is un-obstructed. That of course didn't happen as she noticed the first branch removed last summer.

The Molesworth replica sideboard has reached the point fo finishing. The sideboard will be stained Vermont Maple which is a golden color and the raised tepee on the doors and the animal footprints will be a black lacquer.

The top will be covered in a reddish leather, if we can find it, with a black leather edge held on with large hammered tacks.

The drawer pulls and door knobs will be made from antler. Hopefully another couple of weekends should do it.

Then on to the next item...the rear deck or if Winter is still hanging on a end table for the living room.

I also found a way to get rid of the old boards that have been laying around the barn and believe it or not these are pretty comfortable.

Marlys and I talked quite a bit about the truck camper this weekend and we may start to look at a 5th wheel trailer for the temporary requirements of living at an RV park while we are still working. Looks like we can get one for less money and of course it will have more room.

Once we aren't be "full timing" , we would downsize to the TC.

We have got the truck to handle it either way...the mountain queen.
