Behold, our new kitchen floor. After two weekends of sweat and sawdust, I am proud to say that this home improvement project is in the books. For most folks, this isn’t a big deal. But for me, a guy who usually works more with his head than his hands, this is my best Tim-the-toolman-Taylor achievement to date. Since so much of what I do can’t be easily quantified or defined or even explained in simple terms, it’s nice every now and then to do a project, look at it, and say “I finished that.” Of course, I had some great help from my friend Jim-Bob Giers & Al “Tsuami Theologian” Alwahab, to whom I am forever grateful for giving up a Saturday of their life to help Mr. Barely Passed 7th Grade Shop Class. So I was pondering the satisfaction of completing my humble wood-laminate masterpiece when I ran across the following bit of wisdom from the wisest man who ever lived: “I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil – this is the gift of God.” (Ecc. 3:12-13).
I do like it, now we need a picture with the new table and chairs–we have had snow, tomatoes ( as the kindergardeners told me today), lots of rain, sleet and 70 degree days in the last week. Talk to you soon
Hey man the floor looks great! Did you get the bathroom put back together yet? I got the card and you really shouldn’t have. (Even if Tanya made you
) Can’t wait to see ya’ll again.
