Long time no see!

Well, it's been a long time. I won't have time for casting anytime soon as i've been working my tail off building something grand...

A house.

I don't have huge progress pictures to show, as this has all come about in the last couple of months.

Footing dug

Formed up (roughly I might add)

And concrete poured...

Then I had some fun experience with a construction crew that didn't know what they were doing. Hired to lay block on my footing in a 48'x24' shape... well what I got was 48' 7" x 24' and not square at all... So we had some words and in exchange for my silence they didn't require any monetary compensation ;)
So... I started laying the block. In the middle of the heat wave this year. It's been rough.

yeah, it's less than perfect. But it's the start of something great. 4 more rows to go all the way around, feet problems have been keeping me down lately (I'm about to turn 34, this is ridiculous) but all my lumber for the floor will be delivered on wednesday.

So anyways, I shut my vape shop down in Dec 16' and went back on the road selling copiers for the family business. I've had intermittent contact with Jammer, I was aware he moved but that's about it.

Harry, you still sell any castcnc parts? Thinking about making my own cabinets for the house once I get to that point.

What's up everyone?

I'm not sure you are able to change your name, I'll look at it to see if I'm allowed. You may have to start a new account.

I'm powered by Coffee. :D

I'm back in Ohio now. Still trying to get settled in. I'm a little further north near Mansfield.

Nothing like building a house to make you feel 20 years older than you are.

Today just finished up the house wrap. Finally been dry enough to do the other half of it. I already started on the second floor/roof and now that the house is completely wrapped I can button that up.

Looking at being in it by late summer.

Hope everyone is doing well!
