onthepequod,
Thank you for your kind words! I too look forward to getting to know you better and you can believe me when I tell you if you ever offend me, you will certainly hear from me about it!
I am generally an easy going and
way too mellow woman LOL and it
really takes a lot to hurt my feelings or make me angry. I might make the mistake myself in the way I kid so please, if there are ever any misunderstandings, don't hestitate to correct or reprimand me.
Wood
Ah yes, the smell of fresh cut wood...takes me back to childhood days of hanging out in my daddy's cabinet shop building chairs with a tiny hammer out of scraps so that I could sit somewhere besides on the floor to watch him work.
He taught me alot, as did friends I acquired as I grew up and old and I do a little electrical and plumbing as well. My claim to fame (LOL) is having torn a bathroom out (throwing toilet and tub out into the yard, the sink, walls and floor into the trash and starting from scratch, building it back from the ground up. It turned out beautifully and as professional looking as if I had hired a contractor and a plumber to do it for me. Pedestal sink, white walls with tiny pink and teal flowers in the panels, pink trim, pink bath accessories (shower curtain and such), brass fixtures and brass trimmed mirrors, it was really pretty! Took a little over three weeks with me working a full time job + Saturdays at the time.
I have never done any tongue in groove but I can certainly picture it done in here! The ceilings in the front room and dining room have exposed beams and paneled walls...cheap paneling, hmmmmm
The house I live in and work at right now was built in the thirty's. Brick with paneling covered walls, there is not a lot I can do to improve on it beyond renewing the paneling, updating the (original) wiring and repainting the exterior although one of the two bathrooms is just waiting for me to get the go ahead on the demolition process
The new shower unit sits in the garage just whining to be put in heh heh heh.
A router is next on the "to buy" list for the shop! I want to play!!! Right now, projects are just straight-up wood cuts and nails LOL!
There is no basement here but I think I know who to come to if I ever have to water proof one, am I right?
Our new puppy Hercules (I pronounce it Hercooleze) lol looks like a German Shephard/Pitbull mix. He is a 12 week old stray I picked up last week and we'll never know for sure exactly what he is but I took a pic of him the day we got him and he looked so much like the RCA dog, I had to put the pic on my webpage for easy posting LOL! Here he is:
We also have two twelve or thirteen year-old "throw away" dogs that have been here just over eleven years. Sisters, one looks like a black lab (CONGRATULATIONS!
) and the other resembles a collie. Funny that they should be blood sisters and look so different, I thought that only happened with cats
Well it is past my bedtime again and I have certainly written you an eye full lol so I will let you go and I am off to bed.
Goodnight, Sweet Dreams and I'll see you tomorrow!
