Need to secure those animals
I built our first chicken coop when I was twelve years old. My dad helped me out by threatening to kick our butt if I didn’t do it. Dad wasn’t a hands-on type of guy, however she knew how to encourage her adolescents! I appreciate to kid about it, however in her own way Dad […]

All sorts of construction supplies
It’s sort of a long story, however bear with me because it goes anywhere interesting. Our home-based construction supplier was having a difficult time because of some shortages on supplies. This started because of a strike from the local trucker’s union. Local laws were negatively impacting truckers, so they stopped making shipments to our area. […]

The strong wire ties work great
My home is full of surprises, even after a year of living here I will find something new. This locale was built by the original owner, who had some deranged ideas about interior design, & even crazier ones about the landscaping.

I prefer motion pictures & TV of course, however never cared much for plays or museums. I had a opportunity encounter with a lady named […]

Almost didn’t get my rebar rods and wire ties

The two of us don’t get a lot of press or attention, however quietly behind the scenes the truckers are the people that keep this country working.

Unless you live in a remote shack hunting your own meat, growing your own veggies, & living off the land, you are dependent on the supply chain just appreciate everyone else. When […]

Where should I put all the wire tie
After a decade of renting one small, crappy home after the next, our partner Jane & I decided it was time to take a risk & make a change. The two of us saved up every penny we had available & went to a local property auction. Our goal was not to find a “dream […]

My construction job and wire ties
I got our beginning in the construction supplier when I was 13 & our Uncle Joe hired me to help him build a nuclear fallout shelter. These afternoons we would call it a bunker, however this was 30 years ago, when a lot of people were terrified about the eventuality of nuclear war. Looking back, […]

Black annealed rod wire
My best friend just found out that she’s pregnant. The first thing she did after crying on my shoulder, was worry about what happens if there is still a shortage on baby formula. I had to laugh. I couldn’t believe that she had eight months to store some baby formula away. Whenever she found any, […]
