Much better now, thanks for asking. There's still a long road to full recovery but she doesn't need crutches anymore & only uses a walking stick for longer distances (which are still quite short, but far better than they were).
I made a new “hutch” for my rabbit when I took my old bed down for replacement (due to said rabbit chewing bed).
I couldn’t be bothered to take it the dump so I set about it with nothing but a hand saw and a drill and repurposed it without a plan and ended with this
Can’t describe how much I despise wood and woodworking
Not finished and needs a roof but that’s tomorrows job (next year most likely)

I think I used a tape measure once, a square zero times and was disassembling bits of bed for the bit I “needed”.That's how I plan & design everything I do. Mentally envisaging & adapting as I go.
As a chronic over planner with OCD for “optimal” building as you go with bits of chewed wood with a million holes in it was very very fun, even if it wasn’t metal.

Friends garden. She helped me get into arb with the removal of 6 trees, a lot of experience gained. She always wanted the garden levelled but I did not know how, anyway first job is the stumps.
Small out with pickaxe, the next is much higher than the garden so needed to be dug around to expose the big roots.
Lots more to do. Two smaller leylandii stumps behind but they only need the surface taken out.

Could have welded that up from steel.....just sayin'.....Roofs on, sheeps should be happy which means SWMBO should be
Shame the roofing screws that were sold as 10mm heads were actually 3/8 which took a bit of rummaging to make up a tool

A friend of mine and I just finished installing plywood and eight double-strip LED lights on the ceiling of our new garage. It took 19 sheets of 4' x 8' x 1/2" plywood.
A drywall lift and roll-around scaffold makes installation easier, especially with an 11-foot ceiling, but it's still a fair amount of work.
The black stripes you can see through the plastic are just strips of tape temporarily holding the fiberglass batts in place.
All of the plywood is spaced to match the joists and screwed into the joists, and extra backing blocks were installed to join the sheets between the joists. It should stay flat, and it's not going anywhere.
It's nice and bright inside the garage now, but I might paint the ceiling white later to boost the brightness even more. I plan to eventually insulate and cover the interior walls, but that will have to wait until a few more projects are out of the way.
