New Utility Room

Well, we're in the middle of deciding to add an addition onto our house. You see we have no basement or gararge, so storage is at a premium. The lawn tractor even spends it's days outside in the weather. Granted it has a tarp over it, but I'd rather have it inside. Well, after lots of discussions on it we're looking into putting a Utility room (12x24 feet) addition on the end. It will be one large room and will hold the tractor, tools, shop, etc. It's going to be kind of my guys room.

Of course the work will be done by me, myself and I and a friend. UGH!, I'm not looking foward to the work, but it's going to be real nice to have some more much needed storage space.

The plans are being drawn now and will be submitted to the town for approval very soon. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

It's a book...

It’s a Book, by Lane Smith, is a new instructional guide to teach children about bound-paper forms of communication. Some might call it a “book.”

I'm fried

I got home recently and told my wife that I'm fried. It's the truth... I'll never understand why things come in such waves. A few months ago, I was not really busy at all in my business (no one's computer broke) so I had some free time to sort of do things that I wanted to do. Now I have plenty that I want to do, but I'm so busy now. You just can't win for loosin'.

I really want to get back to my hobbies, photography, writing and drawing some plans for a new addition that we're thinking of adding to our house.

Oh well, time for that nice end of the day cold refreshing drink and unwind. Maybe tomorrow will be different. Ya, I know..that's very wishful thinking.

University students address children photography conundrum

What is this world coming to, with regard to our children and pictures. This is an article that I came across today. It's about the issue of taking pictures of children in the UK and their very strict laws on it. I as a father would not be able to take a picture of my own son. I simply can't think of anything to describe how disturbing this is to me. So read the article and see what you think.
