I still check in on the shed and it is still standing--how and why I have no idea but maybe just gravity pushing down on all that wood?Sunnykmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500444456790747163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-27606096673451217912016-04-23T00:10:20.583-04:002016-04-23T00:10:20.583-04:00Such a vicious attack of remembrance on Hitlary wa...Such a vicious attack of remembrance on Hitlary was not expected to be encountered on this compendium of practical living.<br /><br />Thank you.

I disassembled it and placed it at the curb with the trash, as it was pretty beat up.<br /><br />When I arrived back home from work, trash and crib were gone and I was happy.<br /><br />Next day, back home and crib had reappeared.....<br /><br />When I had disassembled it, I kept most of the hardware and the wooden dowels, as I am an inveterate pack rat. Whoever took it figured out that the hardware was missing and instead of putting it out on their curb, had decided to dump it back at mine...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942035668519820482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-39833742105084561902016-04-20T02:11:55.217-04:002016-04-20T02:11:55.217-04:00I love this story.

There's a reason we consider people with a veneer of politeness (or anything else) a little dodgy.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-45929989016498849842016-04-19T14:36:18.132-04:002016-04-19T14:36:18.132-04:00I see bacon is not mentioned in Ep. 2, but I'm...I see bacon is not mentioned in Ep. 2, but I'm getting the sense that you ARE on the right track and will find that bacon saved somewhere down the line. What is absolutely clear is you married a mighty fine woman. You can tell her I said so if'n it won't go to her head, which I suspect it won't since she married you.Sam L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00996809377798862214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-47125877462507298192016-04-19T13:11:35.148-04:002016-04-19T13:11:35.148-04:00Good dressers are a wonderful thing.
When we move...Good dressers are a wonderful thing.<br /><br />When we moved into this place, the previous owners had "helpfully" left a lot of stuff, including some obviously handmade storage and a "work bench" in the garage. Things that would fit right in on that forum about the landlord who built a shed without a permit or any plans. Most of it got ripped out and donated to our Festival (and tellingly, most of it was still on the lawn the morning the claw truck came by to pick it up). <br /><br />One thing we kept, though, was a gigantic dresser with a couple wonky drawers tucked in the back closet. The paint is a tad ugly, but the drawers fixed up just fine. I expect we'll be using it a good long time.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
