Invited the family over, wife made a big pot of soup and munchies and we went to working hanging stuff up. Some of the stuff was packed away for about a year and I forgot I had some of it. It filled up the walls real quick. I want to put up a couple shelfs and bring some globes, cans and small stuff over yet.

The wifes pot of soup

Nice collection, Wes. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you REALLY like Sinclair! LOL Seeing as how I'm a carpenter/contractor , I noticed the ceiling isn't finished yet. What are you planning on putting up there?

I plan on putting up some type of roofing and floor covering, not sure what yet. I would have liked to have had done before hanging up everything, now I run the risk of Jarvising something when I do put up the roofing. Some of my stuff was in storage for a couple years so I wanted to get it put up as soon as possible.

The Air Force sign is double sided, on the back it says U.S.ARMY and has a different sysmbol. I think they were at one time hung out in front of post offices. I do not have a date for it but it is porcelain, not painted metal. I saw a couple like it in better condition since I bought mine. I had to add it to my collection, 26.5 years invested with Uncle SAM, I needed a sign.

Hanging up a shelf to display globes, cans and smalls today, more pictures to follow.

I put up a couple shelfs and a door today, plus a few beer tin tackers also. The door is an old one that came from the church I went to before I joined the AF. It leads to a small storage room, may make it into more display room one day. I moved the Pennzoil sign, it was plugged into an outlet that was hot all the time, now it will be on a switched outlet.

"Jarvising something"

The unintentional act of damaging or destroying an object, normally an object of value and made of glass. Typically, one object is instantly turned into several smaller objects of varying sizes and shapes. Normally preceded by a crash, followed by adult language.

Can be abbreviated as "Jay-Jayed"

It's in the book...

That's an awesome job. Do you want to send your family out my way to help me hang signs? My wife can make a mean pot of Chili. I guess that's the joys about being retired!
