    a New Home

    While I appreciate the elegance of older construction, I have to face facts. One fact is, I'm getting older ( as recently proved to me by a very heavy railroad tie). With that in mind, I don't want to have to make repairs to an older building, as I am older. Another fact is cost. Older buildings...

    Almost missed wishing Dew Happy Birthday! (No we did not!)

    Ummm, not sure what's going on here, but Dew's B-Day isn't until the 24th, Thursday. And she won't be 21, she'll be 26 (whether she likes it or not).

    New property owners again

    Thanks folks! It's been an enormous amount of work. I hate trying to remodel a trailer because nothing fits. Everything is special to trailers and finding a replacement is nearly impossible. Even if you special order a part exactly like the thing you are replacing, it won't fit quite right...

    Armed and Dangerous AND Spent $1000!!!!!

    I thought the armed and dangerous thing coupled with the criminal on the loose and spending $1000 was leading to a new tactical rifle purchase. This closely followed by the news headline: Dangerous criminal apprehended by local woman on horseback, wielding AR-15.

    Summer project #2

    Very nice work! I know what you're going through. I just wish I wasn't doing the same thing in a mobile home. I can't wait to start on our new house!

    New property owners again

    One of the bedrooms is also completed and waiting for carpet. The master bath is 80%, and needs a new tub faucet installed, toilet, paint touch-up and baseboard. If you look at the living rooms pics above you can see both toilets (big cardboard boxes). The guest bath needs the tub trimmed out...

    New property owners again

    The kitchen is 99% complete and was the worst of it all. Before: Now: I had to put a piece of cardboard in the window to cut the glare.

    New property owners again

    Update time: It's hard to get an idea of how far we have come with words alone. I almost forget what the place looked like when we bought it. The living room is 95% complete. It's waiting for carpet, linoleum in the entry, and baseboard. Here is before: and now: The laundry room is...

    Birdbrain is Adopted

    Odds are the leg band was from an import station. It would have a code on it identifying the station and a few other things, but not the age. Imported birds are often caught in the wild so it's nearly impossible to determine their age with any accuracy.

    London Broil Recipe?

    Olive oil rub, sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme and crushed rosemary (go easy on the thyme and rosemary). Grill over medium coals until medium rare (about 7-10 minutes per side depending on how thick it is) about 130°-135°

    Color of Outbuildings

    I knew your house would have color Mary. It's very pretty indeed. I know a very large house in the country painted in a similar fashion. The road out there is currently closed due to a landslide that took half the road with it. When it re-opens I'll try to remember to get a pic or two of it...

Or Start---type "My Pictures" in the search box without the quotes. Or, since most pics are loaded a JPEG you can...

    Newbie, wish I could think of something witty!

    Welcome Carolyn! Good group of people here. You don't need anything witty to say. Just be yourself, grab a cup of coffee and have a chat. He he...Mary said poop....

    Color of Outbuildings

    I can only imagine what color(s) your house is Mary ;) As for us, house (if you can call it that) is white, barn is red, of course. Aren't all barns supposed to be red? Meat coop is brown. Laying coop is SASSY PEACH.

    Dews laid up a bit

    I saw the stab wound on Dews neck. I was pretty pretty pissed about it. She was nearly in tears telling me about it and how bad it hurt. It looked to be a needle the size of a toothpick! This wasn't some thin acupuncture needle. I think the guy has just learned about the procedure and wanted...

    Think I Lost All Photos

    Where, exactly, do you upload your photos to? Obviously you have a camera. Which PC do you plug it into? Hopefully you don't upload all of them directly to an AOL server. That seems unlikely though. I'm not familiar with how AOL works, but if you tell me which PC you use to remove pics from your...
