I'm a pack rat :(
It it's not broken, I'm not throwing it away. But, I don't go looking for stuff to buy either. I'm still trying to explain to Dew why I have 10 brand new 30 amp fuseless disconnects in the woodshop. They were free from a jobsite electrical contractor (he was going to throw...
Thank you Carol! I love being in the woodshop. I just wish I had more time for it. When we build the new house I'll be building the kitchen cabinets out of solid hickory. It's a very hard wood and difficult to work with but, to me, is the most beautiful wood. Plus it's harvested locally.

Uh...whut?
Your birthday?
That's moving the completion date up by 2 full months. Let's not get too hasty here. I still have to get a 12,000 lb excavator and 40 yard dumpster in there, so I can tear down those old buildings. I also have to get a mini in there to dig the new sewer line, not to...
Shoot Red, I pee off the porch all the time. I'm sure Dew has some accidental shots somewhere. Problem is, it wouldn't have the same effect if it wasn't their porch ;)
Wow, this whole thread has gone off into left field...is it winter time already?
OK, fuchia garden hat that's now mysteriously missing, and mer-men hanging out in the house...remind me...what was the crack the kid made?
I'm logging all this away in the back of my mind...things to never...
Well, when I'm not doing what the voices in Dew's head tell me to do, I love fishing and woodworking. I also love golf, but haven't played a round in years. The running joke is me telling Dew that next year I'm going to play more golf. I sometimes build custom computers, and am starting to...
Today's update:
My vacation is over. I'm back to work on Monday and I'm taking tomorrow off. Today I completed all of the structural repairs, including the bit of floor around the toilet in the master bath. I installed the new tub in the guest bath only to discover it is 1/2" shorter than the...
Uh, Major...are you seeing this?? I may have to make a special road trip via NY, down to your place, around to my place, then back to Ny....creepy crawlies???
I just pulled another 5 foot snake skin out from under the floor of the master bath in the new place.
Latest update:
Today was pretty productive. I hung the rest of the upper cabinets yesterday, and today I managed to get the new range hood installed and wired up. It was a bit of a bear because the stove and hood set about 15" left of where they used to set, so the hole in the ceiling didn't...
That's a good one Carol!
Worst thing I ever tried with a wild animal was to try to get a snowy downed baby Great Horned Owl out of a nest in the side of cliff back home in S. Texas. We were rattlesnake hunting and saw mama fly out of a hole in the side of the cliff. The side of the cliff was...
My compost pile is right by the garden, so everything goes there. No floppy hat for me either. I need the sun to maintain my redneck status ;) Of course Dew is always volunteering to put sunscreen on the top of my head...and always chuckling when she does :\
And yeah, I pointed out the typo...
I've been following this entire drama and pretty much kept my mouth shut. I'm a vindictive SOB. If somebody does me wrong, they are getting it back in spades. I live by the credo: Don't get mad, get even. And I carry a grudge to the grave. Everyone is different, and this is who I am. What would...
