Happy tears for you!

You have lights and water!


The livingroom fan is awesome.

Do you people up there use air conditioners?

I got to update my garden on the poll!!!
I have eight 16 foot wide rows of Sugar Snap peas, planted 6 bundles of onions, have lettuce plants and will direct sow seed for the turnip, spinach, carrots and beets tomorrow. I put tomatoes, peppers, squash in starter pots too. I also pruned all the fruit trees and planted a giant paper shell pecan, a standard peach, a dwarf Nectarine and will plant a Shiro plum tomorrow in a hole already open. Yeah me! Thank you Mother Nature.
Tomorrow I'll use my little Kabota tractor to spread the dirt Hubby hauled up for my new chicken pens and begin putting the panels together for the pens. I still have to do a few repairs to the coops and paint the buildings.....but I'm on a roll!

. I paused it at 1:45....what in the world are you doing to the kitchen cabinets?

Going back to finish watching now.

I'm attempting to strip 80+ years of oil based lead paint off of the cabinets. Paint stripper didn't make a dent. 30 grit sandpaper didn't even start to scratch it. So I'm using a heat gun. It turns the bottom layer into a substance like a really sticky wood filler, which just spreads thinner and thinner instead of scraping off. I was hoping to have wood, but also want to keep something original to the house, so it looks like I'm going to end up painting them.

Yes, a lot of people have air conditioners, especially in the east where it's more humid. There's really only about 2 weeks out of the year around here that warrants them here.

Lol... that reminds me of a story. When i lived in WA there wasn't any need for air conditioning. I had a dog with a very thick skull, so he tended to feel the heat (aussie shepherd corgi mix). I moved to Ohio, which is a lot more humid and therefore muggy. I had air conditioning there. The registers were set in the middle of the floor. One morning I got up and saw Mojo's butt sticking up in the air. The silly boy had removed the vent cover and put his head down the pipe and was stuck. He decided that he really liked air conditioning.

You have a Kubota tractor? I'm so jealous! I want one!

Yes, I love mine. It is easy to use...one foot for drive and reverse. We bought it used and It has a bucket. We already had emplements that fit it...a drill auger, rake, box blade, spray rig, mower and a few others less used.
