I have really like your projects and especially the cool tools and methods you use. Nicely done!!

My diet is pretty healthy for the most part but I do like a big breakfast. The golden raspberries are picked from my little 7 foot by 2 foot patch that we’ve been getting a bowl full about every other day now. Tomatoes in the eggs are out of our garden and blueberries in sourdough pancakes are...

Jon: thanks and I bet after you get the hang of 6 Saturdays and a Sunday each week you might have time to actually do a puzzle. For now you tearing apart your fleet of cars and putting them back together is probably all the puzzling time you have. Eric dowdle makes colorful puzzles of states or...

P: I’ve seen vids of caulking going forward but it just seems so wrong to me. I need to caulk our little skylight soon with 100% silicone caulk so I’ll try your method then. It was somewhere in the mid 80’s today but because it’s supposed to rain or drizzle in a few days my bride put on a coat...

Ollie: you bet plants, gardens, trees, and shrubs sure do help make a house a home!!! I recall 40 years ago when we were first married and bought a house a year prior to marriage. My bride would spend $100 on plants that went on the credit cards cause money was tight and I’d shake my head but...

How many years have you been maintaining two homes? I hear you about wanting someplace warmer for the winters but I have a full time effort just maintaining one. Nice work on the garage and I agree white does make it look brighter.

Lawn is looking great. You’re plants are very similar and in some cases the same as the ones we’ve spent years finding and maintaining in our yard.

Are you getting ready to buy a 50’s or 60’s pickup to add to your fleet? Some sweet rides you saw and thanks for posting pics!!

I wish you were close to me cause I had a decent old (maybe early 80’s) craftsman belt sander snd I inherited my dad’s and my father in laws so now I own at least 3 and maybe an old Milwaukee too that I could gift you one. Nice progress and hope the tile arrives soon and it’s the correct...

Did I mention that I wish you were my neighbor. Awesome repair on the leaf!! I’ve had my SRS red light on my 2003 Honda Pilot for at least 10 years now cause I think Honda dealer wanted $1800 for the repair. Since I drove about half a million miles without wearing safety belts I’m not a fan...

I found a rotating head caulk gun in my supplies that was a bit nicer than the two cheapie ones and it worked much better today. I used Vulkem 116 for the hardie plank and dynaflex 230 for the pvc trim. I’m far from decent at caulking but I got it done and my bride helped a bit cause she’s the...

MB: I’d never thought of using a battery powered caulk gun. Which reminded me that at some point when I picked up some older Ryobi 18v tools there was a caulk gun in the group I might give a try. Maybe up on the roof next to the chimney where nobody can see results while I test it and my...

Your tools and quick projects are always top notch. How’s the little grass (sod) project looking and has it had its first haircut yet?

Happy anniversary!! When I see your working cars electrical turn apart it would sooty me personally but you seem to be able to do the repairs in your sleep. Good luck anyway and hope everything works as you’d like it to.

RH: I hear you and there are a lot of things I should and will write down about the house and my stuff cause at 70 it still seems like we are 40 but like are furry friends that have come and go we won’t live forever. As far as the garage door openers we have two single doors with individual...
