I've hauled mulch almost every weekend since I moved to 3709. Yes, that is a green ball on the antenna. My Dad has one. I have one. This is High Point. As for mulch, and though I've lost 20 pounds because if it, I'm about to give in and hire somebody with a dump truck. (Those $2.38 bags of pine bark at Lowes? Forgetaboutit -- half a ton at the recycle center is $12.)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4684436499834642042-3509648041355916270?l=slavesoftheprocess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Weznoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684436499834642042.post-69250108149893317422008-09-22T18:20:00.005-04:002008-09-22T19:07:44.806-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNgb7Pq6s_I/AAAAAAAAABg/W4AnpNXlR2U/s1600-h/BathSwitch.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNgb7Pq6s_I/AAAAAAAAABg/W4AnpNXlR2U/s400/BathSwitch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248976070333084658" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">That's Single Pole Switches to you and me and Lowes. Gang of three, no less. While this may be no project of note for some DIYers, playing with electricity in a 50-year-old house brought pause. About 1974 my parents decided to enclose the carport to create a family room (we call it "the den".) In turn, the addition created a bathroom with no exterior window. Installed as a fix for steamy showers was an overhead exhaust fan. The switch for the fan was once installed in the gaping hole in picture one. That misalignment of infrastructure always made me crazy, so I moved the switch down in line with the existing two. Anyhoo, everything works, and it's been three days now and nothing is warm to the touch.<br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4684436499834642042-6925010814989331742?l=slavesoftheprocess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Weznoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684436499834642042.post-5870943710518122662008-09-17T18:18:00.014-04:002008-09-17T19:50:07.156-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNGUmwYYWEI/AAAAAAAAABY/PLxQREVN_7k/s1600-h/SOTP_TaoWithBowls.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNGUmwYYWEI/AAAAAAAAABY/PLxQREVN_7k/s400/SOTP_TaoWithBowls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247138434406438978" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNGUIU_bSXI/AAAAAAAAABQ/ETJXLz2hSro/s1600-h/TaoWithBowls_2.jpg">tao puss expresses</a><br />deep concern cabinet bowls<br />i post her picture<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4684436499834642042-587094371051812266?l=slavesoftheprocess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Weznoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684436499834642042.post-40783909289830880972008-09-17T18:18:00.013-04:002008-09-17T19:41:19.586-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNGI6UgFGFI/AAAAAAAAABI/CBcjm_ldcvQ/s1600-h/SOTP_OliveLucy_Sep08.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KaulWp0v15Y/SNGI6UgFGFI/AAAAAAAAABI/CBcjm_ldcvQ/s320/SOTP_OliveLucy_Sep08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247125576380389458" border="0" /></a><br />My pup, Olive, top, and best friend Lucy enjoy the rich flora that would be amazing fall flowers if not so tasty.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4684436499834642042-4078390928983088097?l=slavesoftheprocess.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Weznoreply@blogger.com0
