Aside from working on your bike, what other projects have you got going on?

Here are the three I am currently working on:

Added 800 sq. ft. to the house and am just finishing up the master bath, tiled 2 weekends ago and still have to finish some mud work and the mouldings.

Along with the interior work, I still have some exterior work, here is one of the two decks I am presently building.

And finally, the 1979 MGB Roadster that I am rebuilding for my oldest daughter. Sent the transmission out for a complete rebuild, had the engine machined professionally, engine disassembly and rebuild I did, still have to go throught the electrical, emissions, suspension and powertrain, but it's getting there.

Wow, you're one busy guy! All the projects sound like they'll be great accomplishments.

Right now I'm in the process of building a 12' x 9' outdoor movie screen. Going to upgrade from the queen size sheet we had last year. No pictures yet, but it's coming together nicely.

Can't wait to see pictures of this. I am hoping to convert my garage to a home theater.

Well there's this fantastic little blonde about 30 miles from here.....(sorry, I just had to. I know you know).
All of your work looks fantastic, but the car is "killer"! My deceased neighbor used to drive an MG. (I was a kid so the details are foggy....or maybe has something to do with Friday night?) It was a red convertible, and if I remember correctly you opened the doors by pulling on a cable inside of the door pockets. Is that right? (I thought that cool)

Good luck on the blonde :D With regard to your neighbors MG, you probably are remembering it correctly, however, this MG just has regular door latches.
 
The screen is done! We had our first movie night last night and it was a huge success.

Here's the frame without the screen

I don't have any pictures, but I've been busy getting the house ready for my first kid. Wifey is due in September so we've been busy replacing carpet, painting and buying stuff.

I've been re-staining deck while trying to get a Spring Wild Turkey and finally managed to get out and fish for a few hours.

Congratulations! Welcome to fatherhood :D
 
Nice :D

Are you putting a family room, master bedroom and master bath in the basement or are these all seperate projects?

The family room, master bedroom, and master bath are all going in the basement. We've got good sized look-out windows in the basement that let in plenty of light and the square footage allowed for a nice big bedroom and huge walk-in closet.
 
We are working on remodeling our 1964 Shasta camper, getting it into the 21st century....I'll talk rob into posting pics when he gets home
 
Home theater here too. Got the TV & speakers up, wires buried:

I'm still working on the new cabinet for the electronics, right now the amp/BD player/power conditioner are sitting on an old speaker stand in the corner. My jointer/planer crapped out on me, just about have it fixed to resume working on the cabinetry.

Also want to finish the garden, but it snowed AGAIN today (24 May)!!! :Flip:
