Just sent out to get my ten issues subscription to This Old House Magazine. They pursued me long enough to get me to shell out the $10. It’s those centerfold pullout posters of hinges and nails and stuff that did it. Don’t think the rags worth the $11 they were trying to get out of me before tho’. Roar!
Sometimes it’s just fun to get stuff in the mail.
Character? I never had any problem with character. Why, people’ve been telling me I was one every since I was a kid.
From building boxes and fitting face frames to installing doors and drawers, these techniques could be used for lots of cabinet projects.

TOH is a bargain, if you don't mind tearing out all the little cards and advertisements, first...not much left after that. ;)
You like getting stuff in the mail, I'll send you my old copies of Fitness and Shape magazines, and Victoria's Secret catalogs...you'll have more fun with them than Bob Villa or that Norm guy...hehehe

Ok this thought is a little scary. You posted a pic of yourself with a sledge hammer, and now you tell us you use victoria's secrets?
Strange- V-S and sledge hammers. A new sport? or............
Ok I know this is a family site, I'll stop now.I'm all here....... 'cause I'm not all there!
I don't buy much, too expensive, but they carry some things in my husbands' size! (Maniacal Laughter...Sorry, couldn't resist!) ;}

You know, it's not fair at all to tell us about the secrets, and then to show us a pic of you in really baggy clothes and a showercap...

Ah, secret catalogues. I remember them well. Dad's supply of Men's Adventures vintage 1963 ended up in the neighborhood fort over by the tracks.Character? I never had any problem with character. Why, people've been telling me I was one every since I was a kid.
The Sears catalog, women's (and men's) underwear section...giggle giggle
National Geographic, African village scenes...need I say more...
Sorry about your carpet. It's all a big learning process...first time trying something, everybody I ever heard of sucked at it.
Tried to teach 3 smart### kids today to drive 8 penny sinkers into an old piece of doug fir...they found that it's not as easy as it looks!
Hang in There! We're rooting for ya!

Too funnyI'm all here....... 'cause I'm not all there!
I bought a few copies of TOH magazine. A quick look made them seem full of useful information. I get them home and they are like Chinese food. I read what little information is actually included in about twenty minutes. With the last page I get a feeling that there was far less in them than I first thought. I close the magazine hungry for more details. Something new. Something beyond construction 101 and neat line drawings instructing me as to what a screwdriver looks like. Something to justify the waste of a tree.
Seldom have I seen so little information so well presented.

Reckon I like getting rags in the mail too.I spent a bit more and ordered 12 issues of that JLC to try and see what the big hub bub is all about. I figure it can't hurt justthis once.
I actually felt guilty.
Be guilty (so what)
Namaste
