More drywall : 31/100
We put in another day hanging drywall today. We finished most of the walls and the bathroom ceiling. Pro tip: start drywall with the ceiling first. It rained last night and this morning so we were delayed an hour getting started. After another cup of coffee we started measuring layout and cutting the boards to…

Hangin Drywall : 30/100
We built a 320 sq ft cabin 2 years ago. It started life as a guest restroom/bath-house but quickly evolved into a larger structure. Last year the windows and insulation were finished.

In yesterdays post we talked about choosing a bike based on the style of riding you plan on doing. TLDR; if you are just getting started I suggest getting either a cruiser or hard tail mountain bike. Either one will be comfortable and affordable. Cruiser for pavement riding, mountain bike for dirt riding, although it…

Routine : 18/100
Having a daily routine for chores, meals, and exercise is generally a good thing. The times when it isn’t is when there is a disruption to the routine. Adjusting to some type of interference in our daily routine is challenging. I still struggle with this but have found a few helpful things that keep me…

Examination : 15/100
15 days in and the challenge to find out what to write about is for real. Compared to what is happening in the news, my everyday life seems simple and unremarkable. Is that because it is simple, or because I haven’t spent enough time examining it? The unexamined life is not worth living Socrates Should…
