A 60' X 80' barn/shed.
I finally decided I need something other than jeans.
A loaded tool belt gives me a back ache.
I MAINLY needed a hammer where I could get at it conveniently.

Over the years I've usually had a pair of overalls hanging in the back of my closet for various home construction/handyman jobs. Just not now.
So I bought a pair.

I'm thinking seriously about asking Miz t. to relocate the loop to the right side.
She's a whiz on the sewing machine.
