Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Spring Cap Rebuild

My first retirement side hustle.

I'm not looking for work, but my long time friend has hired me as his carpenter/handyman for building and repair work around his ranch and vineyard. He keeps hinting at a ranch manager position and I keep reminding him I'm retired and plan to stay that way. :)

I enjoy working with wood and it has been a hobby of mind since my early 20's. I enjoy designing and building everything from fences and gates around our place, to custom made truck bed bunk systems, to workshops and one room cabins to live in...all of which I have done.

My friend needed an old and decaying cap covering one of the water sources on his property replaced  (this one being the spring that supplies water to his house). I was happy to help him out so him and his wife could start using the fresh spring water again as the main water source.

Before and after pictures. I still plan to go back and apply sealant to the new cover.

Old...




New...


Complete with sealant.
