The bees are cool! I've seen a few articles on people taking their bees on the road to pollinate crops and making good side money doing so (or not just side money in the case of bigger operations).
I'm not doing it for money. Depending on how this year goes I may do a couple more hives.
I figure honey and beeswax should be valued trade goods in the apocalypse.
I got the roof panels put on the back half of the house today. I also got the edge flashing done. I need to flash around the chimney and install the ridge cap still. The underlayment is covering the open ridge right now so it's at least waterproof. I'll cut the underlayment out of the ridge before installing the ridge cap so air moves as it should.
Gutter company is installing new gutters tomorrow. I'll get started on the siding later this week, probably.
When I bought the new-to-me Frontier, the seller said he was pretty sure the trans was fubar. It would run fine cold but after about 20 minutes when the truck would get good and hot it would start bucking. He said he replaced the crank sensor (with a $10 cheapie) but there was no change.
General consensus of the internet is the cheap sensors are junk and you need to buy oem Nissan replacements. Also it was a good idea to do the crank and both cam sensors at the same time. Of course it is. $250 to Nissan later...
The truck appears to run fine now so at least that is solved. Now on to the nickle and dime shit. Plus I still need to get tags.
I spent Sunday - Wednesday at my buddies place in Florida helping him work on his Murphy Moose. I also helped him make sure his beer and steak supply was fresh!
That's his son, Chase, in the Captain's chair, "helping".
I finished flashing around the chimney on my roof today. Gutter company installed all new gutters and downspouts yesterday. I also got the ridge vent/cap on the roof. I fixed the chimney cap with fresh concrete today, too. So now, I'm totally done the roof.
Next project is drywalling the addition. The drywall arrived yesterday and I put it all inside the addition. I purposely bought 12' sheets so I only have to make vertical seams on the walls (over 8' tall) and the sheets will span the full width of the ceiling (just under 12'). After drywall, I start siding the whole house.

I'll bet that radial sounds sweet when it fires up.
