My shop was taken over with other projects on the house during the past 2 months. The biggest impact was having to replace the boiler - many machines got moved around, pipe cutting / threading meant oily metal chips to contend with, and the storage shelving had to be temporarily moved - boxes of stuff stacked around the shop. The work bench got taken over with pipe fittings and circulator pump parts. It took me a couple of days to put everything back and clean up the disaster - i was craving some wood shop time.
This weekend i got my fix. Saturday i had the planer and jointer running most of the day getting the rough cut stock flattened, sized, and planed. Sunday, i got 6 mortise/tennon single panel sides and 2 face frames made and dry fit for some built-ins i'm doing for the dining room. This week i'll get them fully assembled and sanded - maybe even get some of it installed.
About 3 weeks ago Yvette (my wife) informed me that she had invited her family for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and that she wanted the ground floor of the house completely done by then. 10 out of town house guests, plus another 26 for the big meals. We'll be "cozy" to say the least. There are a couple of projects that need to happen for this - i'm gonna have some fun this fall.
