A few years ago I stained a deck and I got a Shur-line wide applicator. It only came with one tray which was a pain. I can’t find where to get more trays. If anyone has a pointer let me know!
Also this tool looks awesome. Also by Shur-line.
Some of our screens needed repair. And so I did it.
In 2008, on the occasion of my wedding, my brother Jeremiah gave me a bottle of grey goose. There is a deeper story about why he gave me grey goose, but in 2024 Becky and I turned it into vanilla extract. The extract is flavorful and I used it in cooking and possibly a jam as well.
Another day of zero tolerance cutting.
Finishing the baseboard I never installed.
Last time we rented out our house… someone left an impression… in the wall. Preventative measures were taken to prevent such atrocities in the future via a section of 2×4 and a piece of carpet which were laying around… today I am happy to introduce to you a new counter measure in the form of a new doorstop acquired from the ReStore for 50¢. (No popping tags).
It is a well known fact that Paterson’s like to vacuum.
My grandmother vacuumed a dog. My aunt vacuumed her pool. My son vacuumed his uncle’s house, and I vacuum my gutters.
Katja has been a big help getting the new fence in place.
Earlier this year I stained the boards
Katja has been a great help in creating new lights and doing various house projects. It has been a lot of learning about tools.
So I buy blueberries for my kids and they leave them til they mold. The neighbors’ bush goes ripe and they pick three quarts and eat nothing but blueberries all day.
Here is what’s left
I thought I was doing well till I got to the locker room today and talked to the high schoolers. I asked them how far they swim in a week. 50km—that is insane. Two practices a day at 7-8k a practice. I’m so far off from state level. Granted a young high schooler could be my kid.
