winter, we love you...but please give us a break [read: more snow!]
there's nothing i love more then a little snow during the holidays...even if it threatens to close the city!
here's a little tip we picked up in a magazine: punch a few holes with your fist in the snow leading up to your entry. place tea lights in the holes for instant winter-walkway lighting!
here's the view down our street. so quiet; so nice.
tonight, andrea and i walked down to olde burien. i really wished it snowed here every winter; maybe with the climate shift we'll start getting snow!
i loved how the majority of the businesses kept their signs burning.
andrea was sad to see that the b-town scoop was closed. maybe we can get a scoop another time!
resting for the walk home.
the owner of this sweet old jeep came out of the tin room and told me to come by tomorrow with this photo and he'd give me some 'dough' for it. i'd rather have some 'dan the sausage-man' sausage. i might have to stop down and bargain!
wanting to draw out our walk, we opted for taking the alley home.
this. is. the. notorious. COOP.

it seems that whenever i buildup a lot of steam on a project, something intercedes to slow me down. this project is no exception.
the laundry area is almost done. i just need to paint some wainscoting, finish up the trim, and buy/cut/stain/install the counter.
i'm happy to say, that the pantry-side is a little closer to being done. just a little trim and paint.until the new year, we're on hold. :)

proof.

monkey man/ reinstalling pantry cabinets
why do i look like a monkey?
it's because i've spent the last month kneeling on a tile floor and crawling through our dark and dirty crawl space [that i haven't even mentioned on this weblog yet].
that's why i look like a monkey.
at some point i'll talk tools. this happens to be one of my favorites; and most used.
my dewalt xrp drill.
today i reinstall the pantry cabinets. the light, at the end of the tunnel.
me. a monkey man.
