Janie decided the kitchen floor was way too gross.  She did all the work.  I (Brad) did a little troubleshooting and posed with the nail gun.  Stewart helped too.

1/4″ to 3/8″ Adapter

Filed under: construction, done! — bradandjanie @ 2:13 pm

paris_20081227_014Janie bought a paint stirrer to stir the 5 gallons of white paint we bought for painting the kitchen, trim, etc.  But when she tried to use it she found that the stirrer is 3/8″.

paris_20081227_016Our vintage drill (a hand-me-down from Dad)…

paris_20081227_017…is 1/4″.

paris_20081227_015So after failing to find some sort of 1/4″ to 3/8″ adapter, Janie taped a 1/4″ drill bit to the stirrer with packing tape.  And it worked!  Low rpms only, please.

New Scale

Filed under: construction — bradandjanie @ 8:32 pm

paris_20081220_097I bought myself a kitchen scale because I’m baking pies for some of our new neighbors this Christmas.  I figured a serious baker like myself shouldn’t be messing around with measuring cups.
