Another small project, Hurricanes are a coming. June to Nov 30th

I'm so blessed to be able to help others out and make some money too. Hey when I first moved into my mobile home here in Fort Pierce. I built hurricane shutters for all of my windows. In parts I had about $200.00 That covered 16 windows and one sliding glass door. 

So talking with this guy Gary. He was asking me about shutters. I brought him one of inine and showed it to him. He really liked it. I told him for $250. I will build him 6 shutters. Which these are his. 

I put them up at his house and he loved them. The rest of his house has clam shells.

 So you really don't need as many as I have. 

Like I said he was very happy and I was too. 

Over all have been doing very small jobs. Most of the Snowbirds have left for the north. 

Not sure which event this one is?

But I know we worked very hard to make it happen. As Jeanne is the culinary instructor at the high school here. She has the opportunity to show and let the students do some cooking and setting up the room. You know, like the dishes and glasses and what ever Chef wants done. 

So as we all work in the kitchen an make it happen. It really is neat to hear her talk to the students and instruct them an just let them try to help out. As I have been part of her team now for a while. It is so neat to see how these kids have really starting to get the just understand how it all works out.  

I am so blessed to be part of her team and just seeing how she reacts to the students and all that needs to get done. She is pretty level headed when it comes to making it all happen.

I am very proud and whiling to come along side of her and just be a extra set of hands to help out. 

We had a chance to take a nice ride south.

I am not sure which day this was, but Jeanne call her friend Jill. To ask if her son Cody was working at the Golden Coral this day? Jill told us where it was and what time Cody got out of work. 

So as we sat down to get some food. We stooped by the bakery to see Cody. He has worked there for a few years and really dose enjoy what he dose there. The story goes back a little while, see Cody was in one of Jeanne's classes, as she taught culinary at the collage in West Palm Beach area. Well Cody was a student there. 

Meanwhile Cody has not seen Jeanne since then. 

Well as Jeanne and walk over to that area. I am looking for a big smile on his. He really doesn't recognize her at all. In a way we kinda of scared him. The reason is Jeanne tried to talk with him a couple of times and he pretty much just wanted to do his job and leave him alone. 

But as they talked a little more, Jeanne asked him if he went to collage? He told her yes. Then she asked if he remembered his teacher's name? He looked at here and and told her yes, Chef Gray. Now meanwhile Jeanne does have on her jacket she wore at school there. Now if she wore her jacket, he would have known her right away. But it took a couple of tries to let he mind wrap around who she was. 

It was a beautiful reunion. He was so happy it was her. They talked a little while and walked around and introduced her to his bosses. Which made him and her very happy. 

At the end we said our good-byes and it really a a wonderful time for her to see him and just share who he is and what he as become. 

I am so happy we took that ride and she had the opportunity to get some what caught up on what he has been doing since school. 

Ever since Cody was in her class, Cody's mom and his dad have been close fiends. So a while back we, Jeanne and I and Jill and Jim went out for dinner one night and Jeanne was asking about Cody, and all he has been doing at the Golden Coral. 

So the small trip south was a wonderful thing. Plus we did some shopping while down that way. 

I am so blessed to be part of the Jeanne and her family and friends.

By God's Grace I am stil walking and running.

I have  been having some trouble with my right knee. So last year I went to a Orthopaedic doctor. They took a couple of more X rays. I was there back in June of last year. Then I got a Cortisone shot. 

It lasted for over 10 months. 

As he was looking up my records. He told me that I have used up my options.I told him, not at all. I have only got one cortisone shot since June of last year. 

He went back and looking and just took my word I was telling him the truth. So he told me that he would give me another shot. I really was hoping and praying it would last as long or even longer than the last one. Sad part is it is hurting already. 

So I will try to live with it for now. Jeanne wants me to get a new knee during the Summer. I look at my funds and I really don't have it at this time. 

Well Lord I trust You and will wait on Your timing and see what happens. 

Praise HIM 

I hope and pray that everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day. 

Jeanne and her son and wife, we went out and had a loving breakfast and then in the afternoon, we went to see the Avenger's Endgame. It was great. 

But was sad too. You will have to watch it to find out what I am talking about. SORRY. 

It is worth the money and time. 3 hours long. 

Well HAPPY MOTHER DAY TO ALL OUT THERE.

I love you all. 

Small jobs here and there.

A guy named Dale, he wants some mulch. So I picked up two laods in day different days. 

We worked on this for about 2 hours each time. So I  made $60.00 a load. Not bad for about 6 hour job, driving back and forward and laying it down too, with his help. 

This is Randy and Elen's home. They asked me to come over and trim the back tree. That was over hanging their roof. 

Now you can see the ladder is standing up right where I left it. A large wind came along and blew it down. I had to can a neighbor that lives a couple of doors down the road. The reason was Eleen was out shopping an Randy uses a walked to get around. 

So Lyn came over an reset it for me. All is well now. 

There were some larger branches. So I cut them in 2 ft lenght. 

At the end all is well with Eleen and Randy and like I have told you before. The customer is happy all is happy. 

Another gutter job. PRAISE HIM

\Not sure if you can see how tight these gutter are? But I can not stick my hand down in there. I used a pry bar to get the leaves out. Plus a lot of water. 

This one side was the narrow gutters and the down spouts were full of leaves and pine needles. 

The next side was a lot easier. The gutter are 4" wide. So easy the clean and I can get my hand down inside of them Over all the job took me about two hours and made $75.00 

Folks I am staying busy and that is a great problem. 

All I can do is Praise Him and Thank Him for all that has been happening around in my life. 

I am blessed. 

I pray you had a wonder week-end and looking forward in seeing what he has planned out for me this next week? 

Make sure you are thanking Him for what is going on in your life. 

Trying to finish up Richie's kitchen.

Okay Roy and I have been here a few times trying to get the sink in and finish up the counter top. 

So as you see Richie got the top on and all is looking good. 

Now need to put the sink in. 

After cutting the hole out. We needed to adjust the cuts a little better. As we put it in, it fit great. 

By God's grace the sink lined up with the drain pipe. Just a little pulling here and there. It went straight in. 

Now Roy and I worked on installing a new above the stove microwave. Had to make up a electric box and cut some holes in the bottom of the shelves. Looking great and it even works. 

I am so happy to walk away and say it is looking good. 

Have you PRAISE HIM TODAY??? 

These are a couple of small jobs.

About 2 weeks before we came back to do these floors. We put down linoleum tiles. You know peel and stick down. 

Well the tiles went down okay, but at the end near the doorway. We had to put three (3) small pieces of tile there. Put is under the carpet strip an it kept popping up. So on this day we put a piece of molding in the doorway and even used the brad nails to hold them down. It seems it worked, I have not heard back form Beverly since. That is sure a good ting. 

We didn't want to take the toilet out, reason might have some trouble with it. OLD ONE 1983. So I cut the pieces as close as I could. Plus we used caulk to seal them in.

I think it came out looking great, but I am not the customer. She told us it looked good. 

Really not to excited about it. But she paid us. 

Now when we did the first bathroom, she asked us to put the linoleum here too. Roy and I told her, not a great idea. Maybe we could some wood flooring for here? Told her about the store we go to up in Vero Beach and buy flooring that is discontinued. On sale , like $20.00 for 90 sq ft. 

So she went up and found some. 

This is behind the stove. 

Not sure where the finished pictures went? But we finished it and she was okay with it. Like I said before she really doesn't get to excite about the flooring. 

But at the end Roy and I made a couple of bucks and everyone is happy. 

Hey folks we need to Praise HIM TODAY FOR OUR LIVES.
