I was wondering if and when you would realize that. I think you should toss those leaves, or use them for an indoor artsy fartsy project. You should hunt down some heavier sheet…[Read more]

Do they charge for throwaway plastic bags at grocery stores in the states?

No charge for plastic bags down here.

Try to put a tube of caulk with the pointed end down into the plastic bag at home depot and watch everything spills out on the floor .

Only one store in my area charges for bags but they usually have a…[Read more]

That was a pretty good show.

Yes it was. The inter-active pod casts were the best. I got a few tools from Barnaby back then. Always wondered what happened to him

Another cold one here too. Storm door shrunk so much it’s barely on the z-bar and I had a frozen pipe.

You guys from up North can keep this weather !!!! Was outside for about 2 hrs, took another 3 after I was back inside to thaw out

You “can” do it, BUT, if you think about it you’ll see how awkward it will be. You’d have to practically fully open the storm door to get to the entry door knob…. if you happen to be carrying…[Read more]
