I've switched my mindset away from "don't make small improvements to the house in places we're going to remodel anyway" towards making short-term improvements... Step one is some cabinets in the laundry room:

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

With a house you are never done.

Huh...interesting stuff...I've contemplated one of these before and really could never justify the expense of one. It appears that my gut instinct was correct...

There are multiple videos in this series if you've the time to watch.

After fighting with the project Chevelle I am finally happy with the way she is running. I swapped carbs between the cars and overhauled the projects car carb again (did it at least 4 years ago) but ethanol got it. I have it on the restored car, it is well adjusted now and the car has plenty of power. I did find my water pump shaft is bad on the restored car. Another project.

I haven't been super active on the forums lately, but on Monday the 22nd we had to put our 15 year old American Eskimo Ladybug to sleep. We had a vet home to the house, she was surrounded by family on her own bed. She was such a sweet dog and minded so well. She really went down hill fast, deaf, mostly blind and hard time walking. It's been a hard week because I can't stop looking for her subconsciously or think I hear her collar jingle.

I know most of you are also dog lovers and know the heartache.

So sorry for your loss.

That's painful Russ, they are always such a part of the family. My day is coming with my 13 yr old friend.

Sorry to hear Russ. I totally sympathize as I lost my partner in crime April 29th.

There is something special about the relationships with dogs and people. Always tough when we lose a friend or member of the "pack". For those of you who have an older dog (like me), having a second younger dog makes the transition easier... never easy, but easier. I don't think I could go out and get a puppy right after losing a long time companion.

Living in the same place for many years in a rural area, my yard has many a dog buried. Each dog has a tree on top as a reminder ... so it's like a forest around my home and it makes me smile all the time.
