Henry will be OK

Henry was on a walk this week when he was stung on his rear paw by a spider....he thinks it might have been a scorpion.  He's resting comfortably.

Henry is all drama.  You can't see the bite on his paw, but he wants to make sure everyone knows he went to the veterinarian.

I don't think Henry likes this blog as much as I do. 

Arrrrgh!!!

Ahoy all you landlubbers!!!  Avast ye sea dogs as they prepare their man-o-war for this years battle.  

The pirates have woken from their slumber and have started construction on this years pirate ship.  Stay tuned.

Wasted Weekend

Henry begged for a weekend off...said he wanted to go to Vegas.  I told him we needed to get started on our Halloween projects, but he pleaded with me.


                                              

Needless to say I got nothing done and I think Henry is regretting it.   Pimpin' ain't easy.

Wine Cellar

I did this project a few years back.  We had a cluttered coat closet in the entry and decided to turn it into a poor man's wine cellar.  I ripped the guts out, ran electrical in there and used redwood tongue and groove for the walls and ceiling.

After taking out a second on the house and sending the kids off to work at a sweat shop to pay for the redwood, I decided to make the racks out of poplar since it was quite a bit cheaper.  I poured self leveling concrete on the floor since it was pretty hammered and painted it some funky colors.  We added a glass door so we could look at our babies as they sit in there.

I put an LED light stick under the top rack to light up the countertop.  My wife decorated the cellar and filled it with all the wine.  The bottles facing out are ready to drink, the ones facing in aren't  Dang, how'd that vodka get in there.

I added overhead canned lighting to light up the entire cellar.  I recently switched over to LED bulbs, which brought down the temperature quite a bit.  The cellar holds about 92 bottles.

My Partner in Crime

I start my blog with a picture of my partner in crime....Henry.  He's always out there helping me with my projects, which is why it takes me so long to finish...always chasing after him.
