Year End Projects

A few last projects of the year. The first was to start the next batch of red wine brewing and the second was to install my flue gas temperature gauge in the wood stove. The ideal operating temperatures are 400-900 degrees F. This keeps the smoke down to a minimum and the maximum heat output.

Slate Moving

The slate is now in the house! Being smart pays off. Instead of lifting and carrying the heavy slate up the stairs into the house I decided to back my truck up to the stairs in the garage so that the tailgate was level with the landing. A quick shuffle and the slate is in the front entry awaiting for the billiard room renovation to be completed.

Pool Table Relocation

The pool table is going to be relocated to our house. Here are some shots of it all dismantled and wrapped up for transport. The slate, that is the table's playing surface, is 3 individual pieces of 1 inch thick Italian slate. Each piece was 150 pounds and was very heavy for Steve and I to carry up and out of the basement and into my truck. Now...who wants to come visit to unload it???
