Mike and Jack, I’m learning how to take pictures from the angle that shows the least clutter! . . . and I didn’t show some parts because it would be too much of an embarrassment.

I think that no matter how large our shops are, it is easy to have them so full of equipment that we have no room for the project. We had our kitchen cabinets made by another cabinet maker because there isn’t enough room in our shop to make more than a couple at a time and we didn’t want to wait years to get it done.

Brian, Verizon sold our area to Frontier a number of years ago. While many in our area have cell phones, we don’t get a signal in the spot where we are. Looking at a coverage map, you would think we would be well covered, but all the towers are several miles from us and the maps actually just show the overlap edges where occasionally a signal can be obtained. Other family members in much more rural areas have had DSL coverage (from different carriers) for years. We’ve considered satellite, but the service is both unreliable and high-priced, and we don’t want to cut down what remains of our forest to get a signal.

And, don’t worry, Brian, I won’t ever print my address because I enjoy eating that food too much! LOL My husband is the gardener and keeps us quite busy with all the canning. He does more than his share of canning, too.
