Today was very nice and, difficult though it was to do so, we worked on stuff around the house instead of going for a ride.

Filled the back of my truck with trash and other discardables from the carport. I still had the boxes that various Harbor Freight items came in, such as the air compressor, engine stand, welding cart, tool box cart and soda blaster. Most were at least wrinkled from humidity, if not completely warped from rain. Fall leaves, countless shopping bags (mostly from AutoZone, which is probably a hint that I should be a stockholder) and no shortage of used paper towels littered the area.

We had some aluminum frame windows that were promised to our neighbor long ago. They were stored quite literally as far back in the carport as possible. Because of the work today, I was able to clear a path all the way back there and retrieve them for him. Tiny karma gain.

I worked from about 10:30A or so until 7:00PM. If you look at it critically from a before and after point of view, all I did was make room for one more trike. More importantly, though, 2/3 of the space is clean enough to easily roll things around. Another good evening’s work and I may be able to roll the purple trike all the way back where the best work space is and work on it at home for a while.

So long as it’s not devastatingly cold or actively precipitating, the space isn’t too bad. I have a 30,000 BTU heater almost exactly like this one and it keeps a decent working area warm. I may try to cover the gap between the top of the fence and the roof of the carport to keep some of that heat enclosed.
