Great job Bill. 
. Did you use a table saw to do the miter cuts.

Yep. All done with a stacked dado blade on my table saw.
Nice job Bill, turned out great. There's no substitute for organization and knowing where everything is.

Yes. I’m getting excited. The drawers were a huge set back but now I’m back on track.

In 2006 I packed up stuff from my basement and garage into boxes and put stuff in storage. Most of the boxes I have opened and been thru somewhat but several I haven't. Even the ones I went thru have a variety of stuff in them. I'm sure I'm gonna find stuff I forgot I even had.

Well yesterday I glued up my bench top panels. I used 2x6 material. I used my biscuit jointer and glue and clamps. Today I did initial sanding. Ends will be cut to size and squared up and the ends and front edges will get maple on them to dress them up.

My fireplace was not drawing correctly. It's called a zero clearance fireplace. This past Sat. I replaced my fireplace draw vent pipe. The pipe was a plastic flex 4" dryer vent. 
. 
. It melted. 
Also I installed 3/8" OSB on the inside of the fireplace walls. I drilled four 3" holes in the ceiling to let heat out. The chimney O.D. is 14 ft. tall, 4 ft. deep & 7 ft. wide. It has a divider at 8' so that the double flue pipe does not flex.

This past Sat & Sun I painted my plastic shed the same colors as my house. I used Valspar bonding stain blocking latex primer 2 coats. $30/gal. I used Bear premium plus ultra enamel paint. $45/gal. The roof & endgables took 3 coats of brown & the walls took 2 coats of almond. 
Total cost with rollers, brushes & trays around $175.
