When my parents were first married, they lived on the farm with my grandparents for several years. In the summer they would camp in the lower pasture, by a stream bordering my grandfather’s property for a bit more privacy. When I was born, they bought a chicken coop from my grandfather and moved that to the property to use as a camp.
When my dad died I was 3 or 4. They where no longer living at the farm as my dad had taken a job 40 or 50 miles toward the coast. My mother had a 16×24’...

this is my saw bench that i drag out to the jobsite . its all alluminum . i used to build them in wood which cost about 50.00 for the wood . they sometimes get wet and the wood eventually gets tristed and warped , making your cuts slightly off . i decided to try this about 8 yrs ago , and have been quite pleased with it . its slightly heavier than the wood ones but i consider it worth it in the long haul
its all welded together except the fence which i used screws in case it ever ...

Received the new wet tile saw from Amazon, several days sooner than expected. The new saw works great and is extremely easy to setup and use, just like it was advertised. I continued installing the small tiles above the back splash as far as I could go. The remaining portion of the wall is not plumb and needs to be refloated. I met with the contractor this morning and she won’t be back until around Nov to do the walls and ceiling. Kinda long from now but she is a dear friend who ha...

OK Mr Trim, today is your lucky day, I am posting so you don’t have to.
The pictures are taken with my PDA, so they are not the best quality. This first picture is me still finishing some cabinet doors going into the laundry room.
These are step stools, bought at IKEA for the short people in our household to reach the upper cabinets going all the way up to the 9’ ceiling.
Working on the closets and pantry. We are using laminated solid pine for shelving. I fini...

Okay, so I went to Sears to purchase their wet saw tile cutter, none in stock, it had to be ordered. Several days later we got the automated voicemail that the saw was ready for pick up. I got the saw home and opened it to find that one side of the metal table top was bent so badly that the hinge wouldn’t work. My wife takes it back the next day and they exchange it for a new one. When I opened the replacement, it also had a bent table top but on the other side now. Back to Sears w...
