    The Kitchen Counter

    January 6, 2021 /

    Most years, I spend the week before Christmas in a flurry of baking, gift making, and gift wrapping. This year, I spent a few days replacing the kitchen counter around the sink. You may recall that a few years ago, I put in a whole new cabinet, sink, and countertop in the kitchen. The cabinet setup that had been there was very badly damaged and rotting, and we ended up replacing everything. We decided to put in a tiled countertop the first time around, but not without some apprehension. The biggest concern was that we were not sure how well it would hold up over time.

    Building an Outhouse

    June 28, 2020 /

    It’s not very common today to hear somebody say “I need to build an outhouse.” In fact, most people will think you’ve lost your marbles if you tell them something like that. Most of the guys I know think it’s silly, because “Why can’t you just pee in the grass?” and for the people who don’t think that, it’s more like “Why? Don’t you have a toilet in your house?” In fact, after building the outhouse, Scott had to tease me a little and ask all of the people who came over for Rocket Club, “Is it normal for you to go to work and come home and your wife…

    And I’m Feeling Good…

    June 12, 2017 /

      I could really easily gripe about all of the things that went wrong over the past week or so.  I mean, there were so many things that did not go right.  But there were so many things that happened that were great, and I’d rather focus on that.  So even though there was a lot that went wrong, I’m feeling good… I’m a bit behind in my writing, so I want to go back and cover anything I may have missed.  It appears as though all of my gardening/homesteading blogging friends have also been extremely busy, because they have been just as “bad” about keeping up with their writing…
