I come up with all kinds of neato things to build and put together things that will save us money and energy
but since I cannot use power tools (I do not know how) nothing that I come up with gets built no matter how cool the idea is
so there is that I just need to find a class in the area for me to take
Of course Dave is not much better oh sure he has the tools and he knows how to use them but he never has the time to dedicate to doing extra projects when he is home he is doing the basic bare necessities to keep things around here running.
heavy sigh (LOL)
oh well someday things will get made
things like
solar oven
passive solar hot water heater
passive solar greenhouse (Dave does not think this one is possible for him to put together at all)
solar dehydrator
perhaps we will try to tackle something today
but I doubt it there is laundry to do and with this crowd that takes a long time to get done
not to mention football practice for Alex and Tim
I will be impressed if we get our fall garden in
we want to plant
more peas
some spinach
some more lettuce
and Kale
and carrots
wish us luck
Dave tilled a space for it and needs to till up some more I have to convince Nik and QT that the tilled dirt is not thier sandbox and then mix in some pig poo so the dirt is more than just ...dry sand....
oh and our yard has not had more than a few drops of rain in a week

Why wait for a class? They have great tutorials online. Or books, have you checked the library? That's where Bryant and I learned how to build our bookcases, deck, fix plumbing, etc. I learned to can by reading the instructions that came with my canning jars. The best way to learn is to try. I bet you can do anything you put your mind to. Don't let others hold you back, you don't need anyone but yourself.
Oh I can do the measuring and drawing the lines and getting the peices put together an hammered or screwed in place
it is just the use of power saws that scares the crap out of me
especially with Nik QT and Zach running around ignoring me. That makes any large project fun.
