A rushed good morning as I scurry to open the shop on time.
We are gathered for our usual gab session on home repair and improvement, offering help to Kossaks with leaky faucets or other home repair emergencies for those inclined towards Do It Yourself, either for their pleasure to to save money not having to hire expensive pros like us to do things for them. We also talk about our own projects and would love to hear about yours, too.
It has come to my attention that our humble blog has been nominated
for consideration in the "Kos OsKars" or something like that being organized. So I'll ask you all to follow that link and put your own $0.02 in and add to that nomination.
I'm not actually sure how that works or even who has organized it, but I guess they'll put it up for voting at some time soon.
This feels like a real honor for all of us, as you all, the trusted "ad hoc cadre of construction professionals and gifted amateurs" are what makes this shop the helpful and informative place it has been.
I think the nomination mentions best series blog, "teaching" category.
Anyway, thanks everybody for a job well done, on this, our 3 1/2 yr anniversary.
Meanwhile, the final coat of plaster on the little guest room is out there drying, and I will have a photo of the finished product next week. I just could not get around to shooting pix this week; sorry.
Also want to give a shout out to Code Talker, my erstwhile assistant, who is going through a difficult patch in his personal/family life and needs our healing thoughts sent his way. Hope he finds time to visit with us.
I also want to offer kind thoughts to another of our regulars, playtonjr, who is also dealing with personal catastrophe that has been discussed here before, if you remember
Sorry this is so short, and a bit late. Sometimes I have trouble keeping up. If any of you are so inclined, you are welcome to contribute your own effort and Guest Host any Saturday morning. Let me know by email.
And now it's showtime...
