Next Big Project

My next big project is going to be adding board and batten to my family room walls.
There are examples and tutorials on a number of blogs, and I think it is something I can easily do.

  I went out looking for wood at Lowes/HD last weekend and can't find the lovely lattice all the US bloggers use.  Lowes said they would not cut MDF into 1 1/2 inch strips, so this weekend I'll try at Home Depot again.

Really the only thing holding me back is the magnitude of moving furniture in the room and having the room 'under construction' for a period of time ... then all the painting.   Huge job ... in planning at the moment.

  1. I'm still working on ours. One piece of advice, paint the drywall your colour (white?) BEFORE you start. I had read this advice somewhere and forgot, and realize now that touch ups would have been much easier than all the cutting in and trying to get the roller to fit between the battens.

  5. The players would begin as members of the SCA, going to Phoenix for the
    Estrella War. The game was released on August 3, and is in stores now,
    but probably is where it will remain, sad to say.
    At each house you have the hostess serve something small to eat, and host a small game.

  6. ' Satanic Ritual - Decorate the space with human sacrifice, goblets of blood, pentagrams, and things draped in black. You make different challenges like scavenger hunts, food challenges, mazes and races. The game would begin with them watching the collapse of society and the outbreak of magic around the world.

  7. The owner decided after the event to donate half of the proceeds back to the students.
    This was zero cost because the students went to local stores and asked for either donations and gift cards to purchase
    these items. Play games all night long in keeping with the twenties theme such
    as various card games and crossword puzzles.

  8. I had a skunk run in front of me when I was riding without a light one night.
    You might even find yourself flying over top of other riders, so keep your limbs as close to your
    tube as possible. Our six year old was there too and instead of telling daddy Gerrin was climbing on the cabin roof she was helping him get up
    there my husband found out.

  9. After completing your program at the swimming pool, you must wash
    the feet cleanly and dry the feet are very much necessary.
    You might even find yourself flying over top of other riders, so keep your limbs as close to your tube
    as possible. If you love racing, you'll want to check out Der Bahn in Schlitterbahn West.

  11. Upon returning to the starting line, the first player must pass the sugar
    cube to the next teammate in line and so on. Even Halloween parties with the
    very best Halloween costumes can get dry after everyone's seen the costumes to be seen and passed out the candy to the beggars. The game would begin with them watching the collapse of society and the outbreak of magic around the world.
