HandyHubs is my knight in a flannel! This dog gate is going to keep our dogs healthy and breathing. Keeping them away from our beautiful glass windows and patio door because jumping and scratching is too much fun to stop doing apparently. And bonus, my work meetings weren’t disrupted all day. Thanks for the effort to get this done last night @handyhubswyo 
If you are anything like me, you make pencil marks on just about everything. On lumber for cutting, sketch pads, even walls when you’re trying to hang pictures or shelves and what not. Pictured in the photo was me hanging a shelf (JK ha)… Maybe? …

Welcome to the Farm!
We are so Excited to Start our new adventures!. Kinda overwhelming at the moment but we will settle in.
As we are Moving in, one of the first things we had to do was finish off the fence in the back yard for the Pups, Theo is a runner and needed to be contained. Merideth and I put up hog fencing to match the rest of the yard. It was so much fun pounding poles (NOT). The first pole we put in didn’t o so well LOL. A little crooked. But hey it’s our first time!.
The Saturday that followed we went to pick up our new puppy, Jasper. He is oh so cute!
So of course he can fit through the hog fence, I went out and braved the wind and cold, I know nothing new for most farm people but I’m a newb, and installed chicken wire all the way up the
fence. Jasper hung out with me the whole time.
Now the puppies are happy they have a larger yard than our old house to run around in. Stay tuned for more adventures From the Farm! Also, New builds Coming from the new workshop of Twine and Tumbleweeds!
Good Ol Royal Remington Steele, Remi has been by my (our) side for 14 years now. So loyal and Happy. We have had many adventures together. Some not so good but, most were amazing. Today I had to say good by to my best shop …
Big project in the books! This was a fun and exciting Build with Merideth’s creative designs and my tools. This project turned out beautifully. We started with the L shaped desks, to make the frames, we used pine 2X4s featuring a two-tire shelf on one …
My oldest boy is quite the creative person, we have built some cool things over the years, and he comes up with some awesome Ideas for Art, tie-dying, painting, melting, burning setting stuff on fire. Any way he has great Ideas.
He spent some time with his mother this week exploring a new kind of painting. A swinging Solo Cup!
Suspended with Twine, they took a drilled 3 holes in the bottom of the cup. Added their mixture of Elmer’s glue, water and, acrylic paint then swung it over the pre-made Canvas ( Walmart special).
Mom, Son, and Girlfriend Each did there own, and hey turned out pretty awesome. What a great evening or daytime project to do with family or friends. Maybe even a wine night!
My Fav is the one on the left. it reminds me of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!
