I am going to remove the (always hated) carpet in the bathroom and install title. I am not handy but I did build a nice keezer. This shouldn't be impossibly hard, right?
Dan, that looks and sounds fantastic. I've always wanted to make orange marmalade, but I never get around to it..
Nice job Dan. Do jams and marmalade use the pressure cooker? (I know you can use it as a water bath too)
Dan, I'm going to look for a class at Home Depot. DrunkleJon, I never heard of subfloor heating so I don't think it is an issue. I'll Google it. But my guess is that it is some for areas that get cold. I'd be happier if there was sub floor cooling.
Oops. Forgot a pic of the day's fun. Plus a pic of those rubbery mochi balls. 😄

Merry Christmas!
Well, got the old boys snipped today. Should have been easy but doc didn't numb the first one well enough and I pretty much felt everything. Gotta tell you, I've been shot a couple of times and I'd take a bullet any day before I want to feel that again.
But we are all good now and I'm still glad I got it done. Swmbo is babying me and serving me drinks for taking one for the team.

Ouch. Glad you hear all is now well. How did you get shot a couple times?
Army. Various injuries through a few conflicts.
Wow, sorry to hear too. Your description certainly makes me weary of the surgery. Sit lightly.
They have a heater wire that you can run under the tile which will warm the floor so that you can have warm feet in the winter. It is rather nice and pretty easy.

That... looks.. amazing. Friends and family are blessed that you thought of them. And will be enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Merry Christmas all. One of our best in a while. I hope it was the same for all you fine folks. Santa brought ME (and the boys) an awesome RC truck. Most fun I have had with a Christmas gift in years. Headed out to mom and dad's in a bit. I smoked a pork butt to add to the feast. I didn't get it on till 11:00...cutting it close but it will be ready when we leave. Cheers.
Merry Christmas!
Browsing around our site, it seems as though the Christmas spirit has been misplaced tonight. Too much harshness. So I'll stay in this thread.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHbLIEaZl_Y

Well my situation was rare and I wouldn't discourage anyone from doing it if kids aren't in your plans. Don't be sorry for my war wounds. I'm not. I volunteered to do what I did, nobody made me do it and I would do it again if they'd let me. I got paid to do a job and I knew the risk so there is no need to thank me for my service or be sorry for my injuries.
Well done! One of these days I'd like to smoke a cigar and drink a beer with you sfgoat.
I would very much enjoy that Dan. You are a good friend.
So. Yesterday I cut some bamboo stalks. Long branches. Then I cut some Ironwood", An evergreen. Both have now been entwined by by the string of life.....or, cotton twine 😄
Anyway, this combo of evergreen and bamboo will adorn each side of our front door. Suppose to, in the early words of Ichiban Crane. God Bless This House.
The other day, my wife pointed out to me I don't have many close friends in my life. I suppose that's true, mostly. It's a true statement actually.
You ever watch the show Psych? (Sp?)
Two childhood friends grown up together and experiencing a life together. Close brothers really. Close enough to have disagreements and close enough to get over the disagreement.
Best friends. I'm jealous to be honest. Envious a better word
Ok guys and gals. I'm, im. Lost. I gave up a really good job, turned down an even better one and moved to Hawaii. Since I've been here jobs are hard to find. Back in CA it wasn't much of a problem to find great jobs in around Naval aviation bases. Long story short. That luxury is not available here in hawaii
I have an opportunity where the VA will provide 13 months of training. All expenses paid.
I'm ,50 , nearly 51. I was pretty much at the pinnacle of my career and threw it away. I was if not arrogant; naive to think when I moved to Hawaii I could do as well. Believe me. I've thought about goingback to CA for a job
Hawaii, tough place to find work at what I did. Before. No market
I'm. Not dumb but my my math skills are are not great. I have recently Istarted an online math course.
Like I said, the VA will give me 13 months training. I just don't know what to do.
I'm kind of a Hands on person. I'm a good learner.
I really didn't expect to learn a new job skill at my age. I don't know what to do.
