Building a shield wall

This week I’m building a shield wall in the basement.

The purpose of this is to shield the workshop from the noisy dust collector that will one day live within.

I also used it as an opportunity to practice my arch-building skills.

And create a niche for an actual shield!

    Good morning Brian
    Once again, for some inexplicable reason I find myself starting my Monday morning with a coffee and watching your progress on your man cave.
    I am relieved that we are no longer viewing the “plumber’s crack” as it is to early in the morning. I am not sure the you are aware that you have become a “man god” to 10s of men all over inspiring us to sit on the lounge and procrastinate over What we could do.
    Finally, I would expect on completion that you will have an open day with bbq with proceeds going to the likes of legacy.

      Hey Drew.
      I’m glad you noticed that, following your previous letter, I have pulled my pants up. In fact, your comments haunt me every time I touch the record button.
      Wow – I never anticipated becoming a ‘man god’ – though I had hoped to be promoted to ‘grandad god’. You see, my videos are first and foremost made for the benefit of my grandkids. I never anticipated collateral damage – but am very pleased that there you are out there. “10s of men all over” seems a stretch, however.
      I will gladly open up my hole when it’s finished, so that your “10s of men” can join you to bask in my grandkids’ legacy.
      Warm regard
