I will go into the details of assembling/erecting my new greenhouse later, but wanted to get this out ASAP: I read where it was advisable to use silicone caulk as an additional adhesive/sealant to better secure the clear plastic window/panels to the framework of the greenhouse. This is indeed advisable. HOWEVER: Make sure you check […]
Latest Accomplishments (few & far between)
Although, I haven’t been knocking off jobs on a daily basis (or even weekly) of late, I did accomplish a few things today!!! 1. Repaired/Re-Aligned front drive gates. I built these gates probably about 15 years ago and they had deteriorated and sagged and consequently were difficult to open and close. It is a double […]
Latest accomplishments (if you can call them that) and other comments
Well, it is hard to get back into a groove, especially after a break. I could use a years sabbatical (maybe 2 or 3 years, or more). Anyway, some things I have gotten done (petty as they are): 1. Applied Round-up to about 1/2 the driveway and front walkway. Our driveway is roughly around 400′ […]

As I mentioned, I got my Milwaukee 14.4v Battery operated drill (including flashlight, extra battery, and case) for only $99. Then I got my Ridgid 18v heavy duty 1/2″ Hammer Drill […]
Further comments on repairs & parts (Specifically Kitchen Aid)

This was one of the deluxe models (had stainless steel interior, etc). Anyway, the dish detergent compartment has a little “door” that is held shut by a real […]
My DeWalt 18v drill
Got back my “overhauled” DeWalt 18v Battery operated Hammer drill. The overhaul was guaranteed not to exceed $99. That is the amount I paid plus sales tax (the legalized extortionists need their cut). Anyway, the “supposed total” would have been $250 if not for the $99 guarantee. It’s funny how the various parts when all […]
