drill GUNS and alkyhol!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I got a drill like that one and I LOVE it!!!!!

I got the whole set actually, the sawzall thingy, the useless little power(less) circular saw, and the flashlight that my 11 year old LOVES to hide ( leave someplace OTHER than where I KNOW WHERE IT IS!!!! :evil: ) Like last night when the power went off and I had to shut down the network because the UPS's were screaming madly.. :roll: and I'm trying to get stuff turned off and unplugged byt the feeble light of a BIC lighter.... :?

OH, it actually RAINED here!!! First really measurable rain we've had since JULY!! About an inch so far and a bit more to come yet.

I REALLY like what you've built. Looks fantastic!!

Step away from the wheelbarrow. ;) I didn't see any dried blood on it. ;) I bled all over the wife's car the last couple of times I worked on that multi-fanged beasty. :lol:

Bloody cold!

Post by :FI:Fenian » Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:04 pm

It was 4 degrees F here on SAturdaynight/Sunday morning (-20C) so my snow run was just up the gravel road and back before the wind ate me up...

Beer and power tool are a great combination!!!!

happy brick-layin :)

Post by :FI:Cider » Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:10 am

at last some interesting an relaxing work. i found some very old bricks from
an old stable nearby and thought some brickwalls might look good in the combination with wood.

first, i did a breakfast bar:
Image

then i proceeded with a little wall next the stairs to the basement.
my wife asked me to do some kind aof a brick-bow, here`s the
work in progress. the brickk wall looks a bit jagged because the
bricks had different size. it`s not a bug, it's a feature ;) !

and still snow here. we got another foot or so during the last
24 hours. boring....

Snow? I saw that on the History or National Geographic Channel. Been riding my Harley for the last month to work. It should get up to 25 Degrees C today. Going for a ride to the beach today with a friend. Got time, the gardens almost all planted.

I'll boast about the weather today; in a few months it will be hot, very humid, and lots of bugs.
