		<description><![CDATA[I might have been a good candidate for the Darwin Awards, but thankfully didn&#8217;t bite it.

I constructed a stairwell platform so that I could stand on a ladder over the stairs to install a light fixture on the ceiling.  Yeah I know, a little crazy.  But I couldn&#8217;t figure out a better way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I ran into an interesting trigonometry problem a few weeks ago, when I was working on the cable pole installation.  The problem was simple enough: extend the pole such that the trash trucks wouldn&#8217;t snag it, thus ripping it down.  But the real question was: how tall must I extend it to get adequate clearance?  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah and I decided our first big house project would be a kitchen remodel.  The old cabinets were very distinctive, but not that practical.  And Sarah loves cooking, so we needed an updated more convenient kitchen.

My father-in-law was saintly enough to come all the way from Loveland to help with the giant project.  I learned [...]]]></description>

Ok, not really, but that&#8217;s what my metal pipe reminded me of.  You see, when Comcast first installed our cable line, they ran it from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sarah and I are both list people.

For instance (not necessarily in order of importance):

One goal for me a few weekends ago was to install some new light fixtures.
Topmost in Sarah&#8217;s list was to repaint the kitchen.

Up until Saturday, the kitchen was a pleasant blue:
1442
And what color do you suppose she choose?  Your favorite and [...]]]></description>

Last year, I got a bunch of theater seats from an old theater that my buddy Jesse&#8217;s church bought. Two of them I brought with me to Colorado.  They are finally assembled.

		<description><![CDATA[Like giving birth, the pain is now behind us.

We are finally done with the shed, hurray! Here&#8217;s the play-by-play of the last weekend of construction.
First step is to dress properly for serious hard physical labor. Case in point:
Funny, isn&#8217;t it? Almost a decade I spent in Texas without ever wearing a cowboy hat, and less [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark and I completed phase 2 of the shed project today: the foundation.

I bought treated 4&#215;4 lumber for the frame.  The shed size will be 10&#215;8 feet. We framed the foundation together with joist brackets and dug out trenches to level the foundation.

I&#8217;m going to lay plywood for the flooring after the anchor kit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m building a shed very soon, but before I could get the materials, I needed to know how much stuff I had to fit inside the shed.  That&#8217;s where Google comes in&#8230; Google just bought SketchUp, an easy to use 3D modeler.  No really, it&#8217;s actually very easy to use.
Look what I managed [...]]]></description>
