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.
Today we burned the old barn on our place. It was a good time to do it since we had some snow still on the ground.
Here is a picture from one year ago when I had just gutted the house. It's come a long way but there is still a lot to do. What a mess..jpg)
