Pegboard is up (4x7’). Sheet was 8’, but I didn’t have room for that extra foot.
Attaching the furring strips was exhausting. The only flat place large enough was in the sun, plus the wind is blowing pretty hard & that’s annoying. I had to sit on a low step stool & my legs are jello from the ups & downs. My knees aren’t cursing, but they’re close.
I put up a 2x4 where the pegboard was going, made sure it was level, & put in 3 screws so when the pegboard was on the 2x4 & mom was holding it while I put in a couple of screws, the bottom didn’t kick out on her.
We brought the pegboard inside the shop, then lifted it up on the sawhorses, took a half minute to rest, then lifted about 8 inches to the board - worked like a charm & mom was able to handle it.
Now I need to figure out how to hang the stuff that is sitting around on my work spaces - that’s the easy part :-)
I’m done for the day at 4:30. Never did eat lunch & we have church at 7:00. Tomorrow, we are having dinner with my niece & her family (boys 2 & 4). This is the casserole I’m taking - the niece says the boys like potatoes, ham, broccoli & cheese so hopefully, they’ll eat some of it:

“This recipe for Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes incorporates tender, cooked ham, and broccoli florets for a comforting casserole. Serve it as the main course or a show-stealing side dish.”
Progress!
I like to make ‘Scalloped Potatoes and Leftover Easter Ham.’ Love the idea pf putting Broccoli in there too! Sis is baking a HUGE ham. There will be 8 of us, so she wanted plenty of leftovers for everyone because that’s the best part. ;)
I am bringing Ree’s Whiskey Glazed Carrots and a Cream Cheese dip that you serve with various Shortbread cookies. More of a dessert, which is what she wanted; something light, but still a little sweet after a big meal.
We always laugh and remember Grandpa and his frugal ways. He was at the ‘Amish Outlet’ one day and ‘got a deal’ on a case (12) of Cherry Glaze. We had cherry-glazed Ham at Easter and/or Christmas for 12 years running! ;)
