I Am Beyond Angry!
In many previous posts, I have posited the idea that ‘things can’t get worse’; or ‘surely this is the straw that will break the camel’s back’. My previous comments have been extremely measured, ALWAYS trying to persuade without offending. Unfortunately, things have indeed gotten worse, yet we still seemingly haven’t reached that point of Democrats

The Workshop Passed Final Inspection!
It is finished! Sort of. I passed my final inspection last month, almost exactly 6 months after the first shovel was put in the ground to pour the foundation. So, as far as the county is concerned, I have met all the building permit requirements, the building is complete, and I removed my construction box

Democrats, You Are Acting Anti-Democratically
I would really like for my Democrat friends to read this. It probably won’t happen as past metrics tell me that my blog is pretty much me ‘preaching to the choir’… a fact should tell Okay, I can’t sugarcoat it any longer, and I’m going to generalize in this post, for reasons that I will

The title of this post will undoubtedly cause my Democrat friends to be apoplectic but I want us all to apply reason, accept the truth, and evaluate what Trump has done as President. I think

Workshop Build – Framing
With the foundation poured, we started the framing bright and early on a Monday morning. When I say we, I mean Nancy’s brother-in-law, (her sister Tere’s husband) David Hoechst, and me. David worked in construction his entire life, and while he wasn’t a General Contractor, he has built several houses including his own. His and

Workshop Build – Getting Started
Survey, Permitting, Foundation After obtaining HOA approval I began the process of shoe-horning this workshop into the backyard. I wanted to build it as large as I could fit within the restrictions of the side lot-line setback (7 1/2′ from the property line.) I went to the architect and we decided on a 22′ x

My Workshop Build
A Dream Come True! I’m ready to finally begin sharing about a project that has been a LONG time in coming. I haven’t shared until now for a variety of reasons, only one of which was the transition of my website so that could easily blog about this build and could share a number of

Democrats, PLEASE STOP THIS!
There was another shooting in Minneapolis, Saturday, and it didn’t have to happen! A violent protester was shot, and later died, because he accosted ICE agents and attempted to interfere with their activities to enforce Federal law; and he did so with a firearm (prepared for a silencer), multiple magazines of ammunition, and no identification
