Total Remodel of Roy's Old House. The siding is getting changed to Hardiplank Siding and we are fixing the Dry Rot and Termite damage as we go. This house was added on several times and years ago someone put block foundation under this house with no Ventilation so the humidity could not escape and just invited termites and dry rot.

These clocks were never cheap to buy as a collector of clocks, but I did manage to get a few of them for a great price. As far as I know, there is Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Lady and the Tramp clocks. Not sure, but I think these clocks came out in the Mid 60's.
Here I clean this clock up, toss the Movement in the clock cleaner and re-oil the clock and give a waxing to the plastic front of the clock.

In this part 2, we clean the movement and put the clock back together. A great first cuckoo clock to work on, but mainly a cuckoo clock with just the bird and not the music man also.

Here I do most of my work on clocks. Mainly cuckoo clocks, yet I am always looking for the unusual and eye catching clocks. Some of the clocks I get into are ones that need saved from the dump. They fell off the wall from not securing the clock to the wall using the stud behind the sheetrock. Some of the clocks were laid to rest out in the garage or barn and I except the challenge of getting them back together again.
A well loved clock at one time is one that has a lot of wear and you find old bushings that might need to be replaced.

This Rhubarb has been neglected for many years and is about time to move all the plants to a very sunny location. The Rhubarb plant is very forgiving and is a great plant for the beginner gardener. You should water them when you first plant them for the first year. They will grow a tap root into the ground to get their extra water and nutrients, but you should mulch around the plants with grass clippings and Cow manure because they like Nitrogen in the Spring time to grow your Rhubarb for baking pies and other desserts.

Here I had a problem with my Keebler Clock, "Love Bird". The winder would not hold and the key would wind and then unwind after a couple winds. Lets take the winder apart to see how it works and what might be wrong with my winder.

This Bird Cage Clock I found just might be Vintage. I don't really know and if you can find any information on this clock, you are very welcome to put it in the comments so we all can know.
The movement has no markings and is very clean when I opened the clock. I oiled the movement and started to tick like it was meant too. I had some heavy duty cleaning to the outside of the clock and now it almost looks brand new. This clock could have been made in Japan.
