This Old House Peep Asks "Do You Believe in Ghosts?"
10
This ghost, it seems, has a tendency to shut the jobsite's Dewalt radio off (possibly when it doesn't agree with what's on). The helper, of course, says, "Yeah, I can feel it moving back and forth behind me. But I just try to ignore it." [ . . . ]
Jayson Gibson :: Building the Coop D’Grace
3September 8, 2011
With all of the hammering, clanking, nail gunning (and occasional swearing) going on next door, it seemed that my neighbor was “up to something.” I couldn’t resist swinging by to see if he was finally adding on that family room he’s had his mind’s eye focused on for the past few years. Instead, I found him slaving over a barn in miniature. Assuming he wasn’t planning on breeding tiny horses, I realized that my neighbor—like much of the rest of the neighborhood—had caught chicken fever. [ . . . ]
The Cat’s Away… aka . . . the Elefentes of Moxie

With JB away on vacation and only one guest post in the proverbial can, I figure it is time to bend the rules a bit and talk about religion and politics.
Todd Vendituoli :: Concrete, Buggies and A New Head! (aka Remodeling in the Bahamas)
8August 9, 2011
Anyway work starts again and the boys have not eaten anything and as the concrete continues their energy starts to fade and their boss tells them "they need more power!" - Buggies filled with concrete are heavy. As things go wrong and buggies get dumped or spilled, the boss tells one of them that they need more power. To which the worker nods in agreement and spills another load. The boss then says to him that he thinks that the man could use "a new head." To which the worker again nods in agreement. The boss then asks: "You need new head?" The reply "Yes, Yes." . . . "Good, I get you new head tomorrow, OK?" . . . "Yeah boss" as he smiles, laughs and has probably no idea what has been said. [ . . . ]
Journal Entry #333: We at Building Moxie
26
And as my partner Barry reminds me frequently, and to use more bluntness than he uses – I really do need to work on how I introduce myself . . . how I introduce this thing, Building Moxie. But I am learning . . . . And today I'll try this -- “We (the “we” helps me take focus off my own self-consciousness) are a reader-driven, or meta-, blog dedicated to both the home improvement industry, and to those within it that choose to participate in social media.” [ . . . ]
