Hard Hard Workers

Even though that Fuzz was riding around in the mountains, we haven't been neglecting our work on the trailer. One of the projects is replacing these nasty old heater registers.
Not only were they all beat-up but also full of nasty trash. Here you can see one of our Hard Hard Workers getting ready to open one up.
We are, of course, planing on using wood heat, but it would be good to have this for back-up. Regardless, this yucky stuff had to be cleaned up. Here's a cleaned out one with one of the Brand New Covers that we purchased from the Home Improvement Store.
While one Hard Hard Worker was working on this, another was using this stuff to ventilate the skirting. The Fuzz picked up an old window screen one the side of the road, and it was cut into pieces to fit the vent holes.
He had thought to use screen door molding to frame this, but it was almost $4 a pop. Then he remembered the Table Saw, and just got a cheap (sort of) 1x6 to rip down. Here's a look at one of the finished vents.
So things are moving along. We also purchased a quantity of lumber for building the remaining "porch" necessary for county approval.

Keep watching for pix of the New Tower on the Tip of Mt. Mitchel.
