I have many projects going on.

  1. Complete window / frame restauration underway at the country house built in the fifties, I scraped all the original paint off by hand and now I'm waiting for drier days to finish the painting.

  2. Fixing the terrace at the country house, I laid the first new layer of concrete to fix the corroded parts just last Thursday. When it dries I'll see if an entire additional layer is required. Next summer I'll also rebuild the terrace fence and install growth lines for vines over the terrace.

  3. Acoustic Research AR-7x speaker restauration. I installed the new woofer surrounds few weeks ago, now I'm waiting for the ferrofluid for the tweeters to arrive by mail. Just yesterday I found suitable and cheap linen cloth for the new covers in a nearby cloth shop.

  4. Fixing the rain gutters at home, the weight of last winter's snow and ice pulled some if the screws off. This is a priority.

  5. Yard fence repainting, I rebuilt a large part of the fence in June but the weather has been too hot / humid to paint the old parts.

  6. New ceiling curtain rail installation at home. Would be easy per se, but it's a two man job and the ceiling is high...

  7. Motorcycle needs a new heat resistant paint job for the exhaust.

  8. Two sets of new custom speaker stand parts are cut and ready for welding, just haven't had the time to start it yet.

...and many more.
