Other times I'll just slap something together as a temporary fix (the old duct tape and baling wire repair). Then there are times I'll just look at a set of plans, get an idea of how to adapt it to my needs/materials and get down to it! <br /><br />The latter usually produces a rush of activity that leads to aches and pains if it involves outdoor activities like building a raised bed garden or clearing trees. Indoors, not as many aches and pains but lots and lots of sawdust!joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12322908.post-14247451949109417032016-03-10T09:27:30.495-05:002016-03-10T09:27:30.495-05:00Rev.

The Chalet took time because of the trim work and painting. (Hint, paint the trim before gluing it on the painted house. Much easier than trying to paint everything afterwards.)<br /><br />Everything else took time because, well, there's just so darn much of it!joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12322908.post-85842714684768965412016-03-10T08:13:19.866-05:002016-03-10T08:13:19.866-05:00Love the bird houses!
