Mud Rivers and Wet Feet

The rain is just relentless.  Moving all that dirt in combination with all that rain….yeah…my driveway is a muddy river.  Yesterday, the gang managed to get the concrete footers poured right as the next wave of the Nashville monsoon moved in…so we have some wet, muddy concrete footers right now.  If it ever stops raining, maybe we’ll get some walls built, but I’m not optimistic it will be this week.  On the bright side…my Dogwood is handling the transplant pretty well with all that water to drink.

A Plan for the Handy

Handy froogs will really dig this.  PlanCanvas sells plans for building modern furniture…most of which can be made with a single sheet of plywood.  The majority of the designs run about $4.99…you also get a material list and even a link to buy necessary tools on each plan listing.  I think it’s a great concept and I look forward to seeing how they evolve.  Check out these cool side tables…

$4.99 for the plans to build this...

And So It Begins….

Buh Bye rotten entry.  You will not be missed.

Monday…rained out.  Tuesday, rained out after 2 hours.  Wednesday….hooray it’s dry!  Rotten wood was removed with the discovery of a corn snake and the biggest yellow jacket ground hive any of us have EVER seen.  As bad as that hive was….I was expecting some more heinous discoveries in the snake category.

My precious Dogwood is supposed to be transplanted today..I really hope it survives.

Mad Me

Feeling a little anxious today as the work begins outside, so I Man Men-ed  myself as a fun way to relax.  I think the resemblance is uncanny…I ALWAYS walk around with a dead animal around my neck and a fag in my mouth….who doesn’t?
