Last night it got foggy
And stayed foggy through the morning
The road to nowhere
The ice is starting to melt. Sounded like rain as it fell from the trees. So far I haven't seen any cracked limbs on our property. Saw a few in town though.
The neighbor's fence was covered in ice. Looks almost like Christmas lights.
More barn porn.
Why is Bo nekked? Because he took off on another grand adventure. This time he completely defied us when we tried to get him home. We chased him for at least 30 mins and I figured he would eventually wear himself out. Between Mike in the truck, the neighbor's dog, and me on foot, we wrangled him. He was carried home and bathed. Again. He didn't like either. So now... except at night and during rainstorms, when he doesn't want to stay out, he will be on a leash until we get the fence done. Can't have him running the roads.
No matter how irritated we are with him, Bo with the ball in his mouth is just too cute.
My new favorite Bo pic.
My husband is a smartie. I love the way his mind works (when he uses it for good, hahaha) because he really comes up with some neat ideas. This was a can rotator we used in the RV. Doesn't work well in the cabinets we have here so Mike repurposed it to hold spray paint.
And he bought this handle when he was trying to figure out a way to hold his CB mouthpiece in the truck. It didn't work, but it attaches a lighter to his tool bench pretty handily. He says he's always using his lighter for things, so now it has a place of its own.
Speaking of CB's, this is his CB stand.
And we can use dry erase markers to write on the cabinet doors. So I did this and he is tolerating it pretty well. :)
The cats broke our infrared oven, so Mike is using the lid holder to hold his saw.
And one of the bowls we used for Gracie when we traveled now holds his mugs.
He made a touchpad holder with his sliding compound miter saw. Oh, the bench has a top now.
Some of the pallet stringers had arches cut out of them, so that's a handy place to hang shop rags.
And we never brought the ottoman upstairs after we emptied the RV... no room for it really. So it's a comfy place to sit.
More stuff on the toolbench, but out of the way.
Patches.
The hubs at work. He's making a sturdier curtain rod for the living room. The cheap rods we hung when we moved in are pretty flimsy and were never meant to be permanent. The one on the end where Bo's pillow is keeps getting ripped out of the wall and has finally bitten the dust. Commercial rods aren't quite long enough, so he's custom making one from a closet dowel rod and some pvc. Sounds crazy but looks promising.
Bootsie is trying to absorb it all so he can help next time.
All the pallet wood we need to sand and stain.
Painted pvc, drying so they can be installed later.
Mike's paper towel holder.
Another part of the curtain rod prior to painting. Intrigued? You'll have to wait and see. Mike beveled the edges with his saw. That saw is pretty handy.
Alrighty... gonna go curl into a fetal position... watching The Hobbit and Gollum freaks me out...
