Pool Deck . . . What Next? :: Outdoor Living w/ Jesse Langley

Adding a pool and deck to my yard totally changed the way we use it. We're outside more often, enjoying the sun and cooling off in the water. But all that time made me notice a few things that were missing; things that would really help us use the deck area all year long. [ . . . ]

Above-Ground Pools: Three Solutions for Sprucing Them Up :: Jesse Langley

An above ground pool seemed like the best choice for my wallet, but then I began to think of the stigma/image/everything else that goes with one in your yard. All I can think about is the one my less than refined neighbors have that takes up their entire yard, the ones collecting rain water and leaves, and the ones that are empty with one side collapsed and lying on the ground. These are clearly not what I want people to see in my yard. So, I got to thinking of some ways that I can make my children's dreams/current desires come true without ruining my yard or savings account. [ . . . ]

    Nick Lovelady :: Toddlers and ToolBelts (House to Home)

    I have faint recollections of the small home my young parents moved into – I do remember the initial major renovation – I was four years old. The day the ceiling came down was particularly memorable. My grandfather and father pulled the living room ceiling down as mother and I watched from the front porch. I’m sure the asbestos dust, lead paint and ancient insulation are why we are the way we are. Still, I was mesmerized by the project. [ . . . ]

    Ten Hammers :: aka deconstructing the hammer

    Not sure if it was before we laughed about my first experience with demoing plaster, or after he had told me he worked for a bit in set construction on stage crews.

    But he said it. You know the saying . . . he paused, You give ten carpenters a hammer. . . .

    And that was it, or at least what I remember him actually saying. And to be honest, I did not know the saying. [ . . . ]
