Our New Screen Door

A while back the screen door on our front porch broke. It slammed against the house and cracked. The wind was angry that day, my friends. I swear, it was the wind. Crystal and I aren't angry people.







Aside from the crack, the door was in serious need of repair so I fixed it up. For whatever reason the first thought that popped into my head when I thought of screen doors was Tetris. So:











The goal was to not have to buy any wood for this project so I spent many minutes cutting little strips of wood from random 2x4's and fashioning the molding that frames the opening from other odds and ends. The screened part can be removed so in the future I'm going to make a more "normal" insert. I'll probably make other non-traditional ones as well. And by non-traditional I mean BurgerTime!

Welcome Back!

I just wanted to pop in and say “hello” while Q is taking his nap. It’s officially been almost 4 months since our last post! That’s the longest stretch so far that we’ve gone without posting since the start of this blog. Needless to say, much has happened since you last heard from us. We missed you!

Q is growing by leaps and bounds. He surprises us everyday with some new antic! We have projects that we want to share so keep you eye out for some new posts on the horizon. Until then, enjoy this little video I made of Q from his first 3 months of life. When I was shooting the videos I didn’t have any intention of making anything with it so I shot them pretty small just to save space on my memory card (this is all shot with my little digital camera). So the quality isn’t great, but I had fun editing it. Some of you may have already seen it on my Facebook and Flickr page. The song is “Radar Detector” by Darwin Deez.
