I'm.........

DH is a woodworker and can't store a lot of the finishes and things he uses out in his shop, so once they are open, they do tend to smell some.
Some more than others. There is some kind of glue he uses that really smells.

Good luck picking a place.

I remember my dad (who built the house we lived in) using some of those smelly finishes and glues too. Although he was very handy he also worked in our basement; we didn't have a garage. Mom used to complain quite a bit!

My dad was a carpenter! I treasure a little jewelry box he made for me.

I'm back from errands

DH made each of the girls really nice jewelry boxes.....but they warped when we all moved to AZ. He needs to find a way to fix them

Jewelry boxes, that's so sweet! My mom made each grandchild a canvas-stitched ornament box filled with handmade Christmas ornaments. I really treasure DS's box.

That's nice.....sounds very special.

The girls' boxes are pretty big and he put a hidden drawer in them.
He just finished building Aria a work bench.

How do fix something that is warped? My poor curio cabinet is somewhat warped in the door. If I knew you could fix it I would have a long time ago.

He hasn't figured it out yet......here it is due to the dryness and everything shrinks and doesn't go together well anymore.
I will let you know when....if....he figures something out.

My dad made banks in the shape of shoes out of wood for my sister and me and all of our first cousins. I'll try to post a picture.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Here are mine and my sister's!

Wow! Bobbi, those are so cute. Your dad was quite talented.

 

[Meriweather]

Those are so cute, Bobbi.

Not sure I have any pictures of DH's work......I'll look.

He made my "Disneyland" bench for the back yard

This is the shelving he built to go around DDIL's wine fridge

 

[klmall]

Wow! Such beautiful work ladies!

The house is officially on the market today and we already have two scheduled showings...

Hopefully this is a good sign that we've priced the house correctly and will lead to a sale!

Your husband has imagination Nancy, I love the bench it looks like popsicle sticks. I would love to make chalk board stuff for kids.

Did you two figure out where you want to retire?

 

[Meriweather]

Yes, it is supposed to look like Popsicle. They have them in Bugs Land at DLR and he copied them....however they have already faded in our sun. He needs to find some better stain.

Good luck, Kathy. Hope it goes fast......and you can decide where to move!
