Laura and I took our first real trip out with the new ATV this past weekend. We had only ridden it together once before. That was for a lap around the back yard. This time, we’d ride about 12 miles up into the woods. Well, the logging roads, to be exact. When we first moved […]
Visiting the Bangor City Forest
We visited the coolest place yesterday. If I, for some reason, woke up in this forest and had no idea where I was, I would guess that I was in Florida or Costa Rica or some tropical location like that. I had no idea someplace like this existed in Maine. To what am I referring? […]
Photographing the Carrabassett River & Bigelow Preserve
A few weeks ago, Laura and I had the itch to get out there and photograph a few different areas of the beautiful state of Maine. We initially had planned on going to the Rangeley area because it’s got lots of peaks, valleys, lakes and streams. It’s always a good time in Rangeley. For some […]
Visiting Deer Farm Camps in Kingfield, Maine
What a fun day we had yesterday. After spending much of our time indoors this rainy spring, we were ready to jump in the car to hunt down some exciting photography adventures. Before we left, I mapped out a set of destinations up and around the Kingfield, Maine area. Since it’s now the very beginning […]
Installing a Through-the-Wall Wood Stove
When we moved to Maine in November of 2013, one of my very first tasks was to install a pellet stove in the house. Within a few days of arriving, I did that. While the pellet stove performed well, that first winter was rough. The house came with existing oil heat that worked in tandem […]
Winter Camping in a Chilly 4° Fahrenheit
I’ve got this friend who is totally into camping. He’s gone winter camping on our property earlier this season and recently showed interest in doing so again. The last time he camped, he did it alone. The temperature dropped to five degrees Fahrenheit overnight and I had no interest in joining him. I didn’t even […]
The Downstairs Bathroom Remodel is Complete
I have no idea how I pulled this off. I’m not a plumber or a carpenter or an electrician. I am, however, a Gaulard and this is what Gaulards do. They figure things out until there’s nothing left to figure out. About a month ago, I made up a saying. It goes like this: You […]
Installing Two Lithonia Lighting LED Recessed Ceiling Lights
I happen to be in the middle of a bathroom remodel project. I guess I shouldn’t really call it a “remodel.” While the bathroom certainly is getting remodeled, this project isn’t something I actually wanted to get into and to be honest, it’s taken me just about five years to get around to finishing it. […]
Installing a Symmons One Handle Shower Faucet
This was a very exciting project for me. I’ve had a bathroom that I gutted about five years ago, sitting here doing a whole lot of nothing. It’s been waiting for me to get up off my bum to put things back together. If you don’t remember, years ago, we had an extremely cold winter […]
Hiking Around Carrabassett with my Wide Angle Lens
I really had only one goal in mind. That was to get out there to see what my wide angle lens could do. I’ve had this lens for quite a while, but haven’t used it in some time. I’ve been so busy with the Canon 18-135mm that I recently purchased that I sort of put […]
