As many of you know, I have been at my Farm House in West Texas since March. A very nice and safe venue to shelter in place.

My wife and I bought this 1904 Farm House in early January 2020. We spent 2020 restoring it (a detailed vide on the restoration is forthcoming).

The first project for 2021 was to build an Outdoor Kitchen and Fire Pit. I made a short video of the start of this project. More to come.....

Thank you Jim. I offered to get the tractor and she declined. She wanted the exercise. Tomorrow I hope to have my welder here.

Stay tuned.... 🤠

Boy Charlie... I'm thinking: break out the Advil and a favorite wine.  I'll have to show Tami's handiwork to Stacie!
