Growing up where I did I was grossly spoiled. When I wanted to go tubing I would tell Mom and walk up the block to the North Park and go tubing until my eyes fell out. Or later there was youth activities to the hills or family gatherings on the hill next to Oak City. […]

Or Back in the attic again.  I got information about three-way switches from my friend the internet; that is search you want to word very carefully, trust me!  Anyway I had it wired correctly, but the dimmer that I was using needed to have a load on it to work correctly.  Anyway, I went back […]

last year, I had only one manly gift. The rest were mostly cookin’ stuff. two screwdrivers. from: Chey To: daddy Angry Gardner postscript:  Chey wanted to post on the blog.  She is very proud of her gift and I am very grateful for all my gifts.

I started my project of recessed light yesterday.  I think that I am doing alright.  I am having problems with the stupid three way switch, but I should be able to have everything straightened out tomorrow.  I also found that being up in my attic laying in the dirt and insulation has got to my […]

When you want to buy a new one that’s when!  I have hated my garage door opener for about a year.  It only has one controller, no keypad entry, and the rail is bent so the door does not go down smooth.  Well recently the door has stopped working; sweet time for a new one.  […]

Recently, we moved some things around in the kitchen. As a result I needed a new plug in the a wall that did not have one. I have not looked forward to removing drywall to drill down into the basement, big mess lots of frustration. Then I discovered Milwaukee’s Cable Bit.. It is basically a […]

I have been swamped with things to blog about. I have lacked the will to express them. I applied for a promotion, didn’t get it. My co-worker did, and I am very happy for him. However, him moving on has set the wander lust into me. Baby blessings, Christmas parties, and great families should have […]
