Our Blue Box of Misery

Well, summer is winding down, temps unusually cool for early Sept in North TX now. The mobile home next door is now occupied by my Mom-in-Law. Just buttoning up a few loose ends now. It's been a long summer of fixing EVERYTHING on this old mobile home. New roof, floor deck fixes, New hot water heater, replacing all the ductwork for the AC, etc, etc.

Rear covered porch, and small front porch (with ramp) is built...lacks painting.

She had her two portable sheds hauled out 35 miles to this location.

One of them (a Lowe's product..very cheaply made), kinda fell apart on the drive out here.
But we got it patched back together, since they picked up the sidewall that blew off.

Propane tank setup, pressure tested, and after a couple of parts replaced, was filled up for winter at $1.80 per gallon.

The other, older, and much better constructed shed, made the trip with no issues.
Trailer skirting begins today...then exterior painting on the blue box of Misery.



Me and 2 of my 3 grandkids. 
My third grankiddo.

And my ever faithful sidekick.."Mojo"
That's all for now.

  1. You have been very busy lately. Loved the pictures of the precious grandkids and your faithful sidekick.

    You did a good job of putting the shed back together.

    1. Ms B, just now saw your comment. Yes, last summer was a butt whooping. Hope to spend more time at the cabin this summer. Thanks for stopping by.

  2. This reminds me of rebuilding a crazy old farmhouse years ago. We still live quite comfortably in it. Best wishes. Following too.

    1. Somehow I just accidentally saw your comment months later. I've remodeled many an old house. Always enjoyed that, but getting too old to do much more than supervise. Thanks for commenting, Geo.
