Tug of War training 1974 at the Toronto CNE Stadium

Pickup Truck plow blade attached to my tractor - and with the rear blade I could plow the snow forward and backward.

Making a pair of drapes with the old vintage sewing machine Dad gave me

Building neighbour Pat's garage while taking a break from installing the ceiling drywall to install a pair of commercial garage doors.

Behind is the start of a downdraft spray paint booth that I'm finishing below

Redesigning a neighbour's old tractor to accept an even older front end loader

Drying firewood over the airtight and chopping up the firewood that I'm sitting on and behind me

Sharpening a neighbour's lawnmower blades with the grinder in my hands

Just bought this shack in Markstay for $18,000 where most of these pictures were taken, sold it four years later for $120,000

A few years later, I finished my shop and am repainting my "new" $400 car

Throwing firewood into the basement through the window - (FB pic.)

Just finished building another sawmill, the shop is ready for the siding here

Finished cutting up a log into lumber on the sawmill and now trimming the ends

Repairing a neighbour's Dog Sled with a new part I designed so it wouldn't break again

Building a foundation for a neighbour's new addition, the rest of the building to follow

Cut off a rusted section of my truck's cab over the window, then welded on another part I cut off of another old truck, without the rust

Now doing the body work to get ready to paint. Pros use special guards to protect the wheels, but old bedsheets work just as well

Just finished doing barn work and am preparing to give Dressage Lessons on my old nag Rosie. Had to sell her, you wouldn't believe what it costs to keep a horse!

Building the front closet in my new house - all house construction pics are on the Website
