We can conclude without a doubt that nonstick pans are poisonous and will kill you! Ok, maybe it’s not that simple… Over the years, we’ve been replacing our original non-stick cookware set with cast iron and stainless steel cookware. It took us a while since a good 3 layer stainless steel pan (aluminum core sandwiched [...]
Scott made this beautiful nightstand for me using a variety of woods left over from the construction of our house. It includes bamboo plywood (left over from our interior trim), cedar paneling (from our closet), birch plywood (from a variety of projects), and pine 2×4′s (from the framing of the house).

The chicks are spending their first night in the coop! Although the coop is not 100% finished, it is certainly safe and secure. We have some trim details left to do, but the girls had way outgrown their baby room in the brooder. It was time! They spent the day outside with me while I [...]

For a little pop, we’ll paint the door and window trim white. Later, I plan on painting a mural on the coop. This [...]
