Presents from Uncle Bill...

Hi Everyone!  I was at my parents, checking on my dad.  He's had a rough week after surgery.  I think he's finally rounded the corner and is doing better.  And when I got home, I found a present leaning up against the shop.  Look what my Uncle Bill left for me.....
 They are dirty and chippy and still have the hardware intact.
 I have wanted a few windows with more than four panes...
 ....and now I have four of them.....
Thanks Uncle Bill for the presents!

I just can't wait for a little cooler weather so I can get back out to the shop and get started working on these and all the other projects I have going.  I need to see about getting some air conditioning out there so I can work when I can instead of when the weather allows.  Because I am a wimp when it comes to heat.  I always have been.  As a little girl I used to pass out when I got too hot or I'd get nose bleeds when I was overheated and they wouldn't stop.  So I'm extra careful in the heat.  I can't wait for next week.  I have Tuesday off and since the 4th of July is Wednesday, I have that off too.  Two day off in a row...that doesn't happen very often for me.  But it's going to be hot.  I've been making my list of projects so I know exactly what I'm going to work on.  But first I figure out the air conditioning situation.  Have a great weekend everyone!  Thanks for stopping by.

    Wow, I wish I had an Uncle Bill like yours! Can't wait to see what you do with them. And, oh yes, stay out of this heat...too dangerous! I'm like you, I hate it. My head gets as red as a tomato when I get overheated...not pretty!

    Wishing the best for your dad...hope it's all a breeze now. I can't take the heat, but you KNOW that. I've made plans to move all my gear to the basement shop. Starting tomorrow on a great project (I hope)
    great windows. I love free gifts like that!

    HI! I like your new blog header! We're having the same heat wave in Manassas- where are you? I tried to look through your tabs to see if I could find out, I see a horse sign with Doswell, VA on it, so you're not too terribly far from me. Good luck with the heat and getting back to your great projects! stay cool!
