I'm in the early stages of a huge project I've been putting off. Decluttering all the storage areas in my house is my new summer project. Besides getting things in order, a secondary positive benefit is that I get to meet interesting people. Just this past Sunday morning, I was out on my driveway talking […]
It's June 6th. Two years ago on this day, I was laboring up on my roof in 90+ F heat. The summer of 2015 would turn out to be a wretched HOT season. I just got back up from letting Lady the dog inside. It's COLD outside and raining! 49 F Are you kidding me? […]

I'm installing a new three-piece American Standard corner shower and a new vanity and sink in our master bathroom. Last Sunday, I was on my knees all day - yes, […]
