This is a rough draft from Lumber Yard Boy.  The posts will be moved and obviously not in front of the garage door. Deb and I have decided, for several reasons, not to build our house quite yet.  If you missed the reasons WHY, I shared them in a post a few weeks ago.  BUT… […]

  If you have been around for any length of time, you know we have been blabbing about building a house in the woods for a long time.  I received a text a few weeks back from the girls who bought our old house.  It said: “In case you forgot, it’s our anniversary this weekend.  […]
