1st- projects and more projects




Guitar

Finally! The guitar is done. I took it to a shop and had them do the final set up for me so I could be sure everything was adjusted and set properly for the sound. And it does sound good. As good as the Martin I think, maybe a little less bass but that's ok. I was a little worried that the small soundhole might mute the sound but it has good volume. I may sell the Martin.
Bed
The bed should be done this weekend. I am always optimistic on how long it takes for these projects. At first I thought I could do it over the 3 day weekend but a few extra days is not bad.
Bridge
I will be starting the bridge replacement pretty soon. Right now we have an old railroad car that was converted into a bridge that is in pretty rough shape. The plan is to replace it with an stone arch bridge. It will actually be concrete and faced with stone.
House Addition
I had planned on starting this by now but winter finally arrived in February and I was wanting to get the other things done anyway. Right now, the plan is to build part of the addition this summer and then do the rest probably next summer.
