Ideas

  • Learn to sharpen: chainsaw chains, kitchen knives, scythes, sickles, brush cutter blades, chisels, axes, krčun.

  • Pekarna slab
  • Wood-burning stove: get to a point where you can use existing wood-burning stove to heat the house if heat pump goes down.
  • Make a gym equipped for Ricky MTWT workouts
  • In TV47 attic make some exercise toys for climbing around along the beams, e.g. to hand-over-hand like when Randall and I were framing Evelyn powder room.
  • Make a platform-framed drying rack to replace rickety attic drying rack and learn platform framing.
  • Husqvarna 560 up and running
  • Generator: get to a point where if power goes out you know you can frictionlessly restore power to e.g. a few computer outlets, lights, and freezers via generator.
