We didn’t get the foot of snow I was hoping for. I think we probably got about six to eight inches. That’s not bad. I guess. Hopefully, things will pick up faster next time. From what I read online, it was supposed to start snowing last night before midnight and continue on into today. Some […]

I got this idea that other day that I’d give making a Christmas wreath a try. I made a few of these years and years ago, but I really don’t think I gave it my all back then. Since we live among so many types of pine trees and since the whole endeavor would only […]

I’ve had a home improvement project that I’ve been avoiding for quite some time now. The project has to do with making shelves for the insides of the kitchen cabinets, the laundry room, three bedroom closets and a hallway closet. In all, I’d say we need about 15-20 shelves. All different shapes and sizes, mind […]

Happy Thanksgiving to all. What a fun day. Laura and I made the best of it and fell asleep last night very tired and stuffed to the gills. We went hiking, for a walk, ate, drank and watched a movie. We even saw Piper the horse. Piper is our favorite horse across the street and […]

I really let this place go for the past few years. I’ll be honest – I was on strike. After living in Connecticut and Florida, where competition among neighbors for the greener lawn is a bit higher than it is here, I had enough. I really didn’t even want to look at a lawn. And […]

It was only when I discovered the riding mower had actually been shipped that I purchased aluminum loading ramps. I knew I’d need them if I was to use my trailer for either lawnmower or ATV storage. This is the kind of thing I usually wait for the last minute to buy, but not this […]

This is pretty funny. Think about this for a second – back in the day, purchasing a ride on mower was huge. In the morning, you’d pull your trousers up as high as they’d go, hop in your Buick and take a ride out to the closest hardware store (or wherever they sold these things) […]

I know, I know, I have railed against mowing the lawn for years now. It’s just that now I have a new lawnmower. One that I can sit on and not cause my back to absolutely kill me after a few minutes of walking. Over the past three years, I’ve gone from not mowing much […]

This purchase has been a long time in the making. I didn’t want to have to buy a new drill gun because I thought my old Black & Decker was still fairly new, but the truth is, it’s years and years old. As far as I can remember, I bought my first cordless drill back […]

I happen to be a man who loves tools. I’ve got a whole bunch of them and am always on the lookout for more. To be brutally honest, I’ll admit that I sometimes want to get rid of my current tools, just so I can somehow acquire new ones. I get bored easily and love […]
