I don’t know which I’m doing right now. This whole moving thing has me upside down and backwards. My blogging has been non-existent, I know. Partly because all my passwords are stored on my laptop and I don’t actually know some of the passwords to different stuff. My Wordpress password is one of them.
When I’m [...]

My home improvement multimedia extravaganza is now live! You can check it out here.
It’s called I Did That. It will mix in blog posts, audio podcasts and video podcasts. I’ve started rather simply with my Laundry Room Project. The show will be evolving as it goes, so make sure you check [...]

So the wife and kids are off to Savannah this weekend. I stayed behind because I have loads of work to do that would have distracted me from any fun I could have there.
It sucks when they are gone. Maybe I’m just completely domesticated now, but man, I wish they were here.

After a little bit of begging and a short lecture, I bought myself a new toy today. It’s a Bostitch nail gun. Well, actually it is 3 guns and a compressor.
It is bad to the bone. If you have ever taken the moulding off the frame of a door, it is stapled [...]

I’ve been working on my in-laws bathroom. I tiled the floor last week, my Mother-In-Law wallpapered the walls and started stripping the cabinet and sent the drawers off to be stripped. This weekend, I’ve put in the new switches, outlets and plates, hung the hand towel ring, the towel bar and an extremely [...]

For 2007, “discipline” is going to be the overriding theme in my life. And no, I don’t mean that kind of discipline, you perv.
I’ve been very disciplined about select things in my life. During college I was extremely disciplined at working out. Going to class, studying, paying attention, not so much.
I’ve been [...]

I remodeled my kitchen about 2 years ago (I think, time is slipping by me). Prior to the remodel I had my refrigerator’s ice maker hooked up and running. When I did the remodel I just never hooked it back up because I didn’t have the right part to connect it into the [...]

I saved myself roughly $792 dollars today.
Our washing machine had been leaking. Pretty bad, too. Now this is not entirely a shocker, since I believe this washing machine moved from Kansas with the family in 1984. I’m not 100% sure of that, but I think it did. I’m not sure how [...]

As thrilled as I am at the birth of my son, there is a downside. Since Tuesday I have felt utterly useless. I’ve tried to help, but have managed to either be all thumbs about it or expend lots of energy achieving nothing.
I thought I was pretty competent and helpful with Emily, but [...]

I received a notice in the mail today from the fine folks in the North Augusta Municipal Department. It seems that the Mercury is in violation of certain codes. They informed me that it would be quite alright with them if I were to have it removed immediately.
Always one to oblige, I called [...]
