I don't want to paint, says my man. I'm fed up with DIY. And I get it - a photo memory popped up from ten years ago where he was removing and installing a window at the old place, and he's still doing

Grain run this morning and I checked the other brewery in case as sometimes they don't tell me right away but there was none. I worked my ass off today but got the job done for my client. I am so sore

I am NOT down with opp.. other people's problems. More to the point I really dislike shoddy workmanship and whoever built this water feature 16 years ago fucked it up. Today the boys and I went and remedied

Nice cool day today and sone somid storms were in the region over the day. Landscaping work today and have a list of tasks to bid/do. Harvested in garden, have a part printed for repacking my reserve,

In a recent post, I mentioned accidentally mulching my neighbor's sprinkler head while I was taking care of her lawn when she went on vacation. I also fixed it. Here's how. Tools & Supplies Replacement

I'm lucky enough to have a very handy man around the place - Jamie'll build most things I have dreamt about. My chicken coop, various fences and gates, a polytunnel, a firebath , a gazebo - this really

'Is the squlch truck coming?' said my grandson, because he's two, and he can say cute things. He means 'mulch truck', and it's a delight to watch him watch the squlch truck arrive - twice, as we got two
