How's this?

What do you think Allysha?  Is it "light" enough?

Give your input....

Two of my daughters confessed to me over the weekend that they hated my new blog colors.  One even said she could hardly look at the page because it made her feel ill.  With that rave review I am changing them once again.  Feel free to give your input.  

The joys of framing...

 OK - I'll admit it freely - I LOVE to frame.  Not the picture kind.  I mean the nitty, gritty 2X4, chop saw, nail gun variety.  I'm starting to finish our addition to the basement.  We framed the outside walls last summer.  This week I am doing inside stuff like closets and enclosing heat ducts etc.  What is it about framing that I absolutely love - even, more than finish work?  I think I like the satisfaction of seeing a creation rising from the dust.  It's fast (if you measure correctly) somewhat creative in that you can find solutions to problems, (especially when you don't really know what you are doing so you just figure out what will work :)  Sadly I don't think any framing crew is looking to hire a 59 year old female mother of eleven, grandmother of 12.  Luckily I don't really want to frame for a living, just for fun.  The problem is I only have one basement to give for my framing obsession. 

Here we go!

 

That wasn't too bad!

 

Getting better....

Fun!

Time for a change...

....bored with red.  Nothing much to say other than Mar. 1 finally brings snow!
