I had an unexpected project come up this weekend that had to be started and finished by today.
When I tore down my deck two years ago, I never got around to building a new set of stairs coming off the back of the house. We are in the middle of doing a refinance, and the appraiser made our appraisal contingent upon a set of...

Terry Border, of Bent Objects fame, has posted an image that not only do I love, but it ties in with the theme of this blog. Click over to his site and check out "Spray Paint". While you're there, spend an hour or two looking through his old posts. He's a creative genius.
