Removing the failing load bearing wall.

Tomorrow I will power wash the floor, prime it, and then pour self leveling concrete.

Enjoy

Remember your best day and your worst are all part of God's plan.

God has decided that I need to redo my garage to improve my resale business.

He knows I lacked the skills to do it.

So over the years God has provided me with multiple houses to train on, which also provided me the opportunities to acquire the tools I would need.

When you get old and look back, you can see the pattern if you only take the time to look.

@sburange247 Thats hilarious 😂

See Fred SMASH

I will be saving this video to show to my doctor.

When he ask me how I pulled all the muscles in my chest, shoulders, back....everywhere.

I have put myself on light duty today.

Thanks @EdResellsDFW , I went to YouTube University 🤣. I think this is about the 10th house I have redone. It is the oldest house we have ever owned and so I'm learning some old school tricks.

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

I've been in the attic for the past few days chasing electric down.

No one wants to see an old man sweating in the attic...if you do, seek counseling.

I have started the temporary support wall.

Enjoy the video

@ShamsETubriz @hey_mindi Ha ha did you put hot water on your cereal?

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@avivafashion11 Did you respond with "You can't even buy (insert designer) toilet paper for $250. 🤣

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

When I see this I think.....

A husband found his wifes stash and is selling it to buy new tools, guns, boat etc.

A new reseller bought with emotion instead of math.

Someone was excited until it arrived and decided they don't want to work that hard.

What do you think happened....

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@WatchSethBuild Don't let perfection get in the way of good! Great job on moving the inventory!!!!

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@ShamsETubriz Ha ha no she's asking why I'm laying down 🤣

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

Somedays I don't act like I'm 56.

"If I put a couple of my tool boxes into my trailer, I will have more room for my garage remodel. "

The 17 year old brain says "I will just push it up the ramp, super easy"

The 17 year old brain pushing, pushing...half way up the ramp...still pushing but no longer moving forward.

The 56 year old brain kicks in "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"

Then life gently reminds you that you are old and still a bit stupid.

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

I have a plan!!! Aviva you launch a luxury brand that is so exclusive that nothing has prices or is available on the website. I will package up some of the broken drywall from my garage remodel and we sell it as art starting at $100k. What do you think? We could name the brand " YGBKM" which means You Gotta Be Kidding Me 😜

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@avivafashion11 You certainly deserve some cheerleaders!!!

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

Clean up on aisle 9

Next is to remove and rebuild a load bearing wall in the garage.

[Shannon Jean @ShannonJean]

Nobody puts this in the job description…

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

Removing the floor...it's almost gone!!!

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@ShamsETubriz Do you need me to get there earlier??

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

Back to work-Episode 2

Attention: I am not a professional but I act like one on X.

I should title this " My kids love me just enough to check on me but not enough to help"

Too Wordy???

How about....

"Expanding the garage so my wife doesn't hurt me like @ShamsETubriz "

When I have this removed, I have a wall to rebuild, run the electrical and start live selling....

Easy......nope...I'm tired🫩

[Fred Behringer @Just_a_Fred]

@ShamsETubriz Cough cough...
