No, this is not my Halloween Mask. This is my work mask. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Mrs_d, you look way too clean! Here is one of me clean. Of course I just started stripping. I had to search to find a picture that was not too embarrassing. Usually, my hair is sticking up, I've got my glasses on (eye protection), and am wearing my most ratty clothes.

Bad hair & ratty clothes are 100% acceptable....if not expected!

Hard for me to get a pic...I live alone! Maybe the ghosties will snap a shot or 2 :mrgreen:

Here's a shot of me perched on the roof about 2 years ago when I painted it.

Painting the roof would NOT be one of my projects! Too scary. :shock:

It was definitely a project that made my palmns sweat - but I was an adrenaline junky in my early years (mototcross racing and extreme skiing) so I just exchanged those hobbies for Extreme DIY projects :P I get my fix and my wife approves of the activity - win win!

My neighbors see me in these type of outfit more than the ballgowns.

This is what we call my "Take Me To Your Leader" space suit. Usually I have a large respirator, but this day I wasn't in the mood for it. Every day it was good enough weather and I didn't have orders to get out for the boss I was doing this: I know they say start from the top, but we had to rip siding off because of the clapboarding project from the bump out and the part that was just left cut and hanging looked stupid :shock: .

CWS, that board you are standing on looks a little bowed. It that OSHA approved?

It sure wasn't WEIGHT WATCHERS approved. It was very bowed!!! I need to take off another 20lbs at least! I ended up adding another thicker board with this one to get the job done after this picture was taken. Makeshift staging has its challenges.

Yeah, I get the weight watchers idea. One side benefit about old house renovations is that I can't eat while doing it and it burns a lot of calories! Love that!
