Building a stone accent wall for the woodstove
I am in a race to beat the cold of yet another Alaskan winter!
In order to win this race I need to get the woodstove installed, but before that, I need to start Building a stone accent wall for the woodstove!
I am a complete novice builder who grew up in sunny California and thought it would be an awesome idea to build my own off grid cabin on raw land in Alaska...what could go wrong?
I have never built a thing in my life so why not a house? OH! and I can live in a trailer while I do it....and work full time! Did I mention that I am out of shape, over weight and 60? What could go wrong?

Kitchen upgrade and comfort food
มุมมอง 6Kวันที่ผ่านมา
The change in weather and the lower temps this week have me opting for an indoor project, more specifically, a kitchen upgrade and comfort food! I have had this sink sitting on my living room floor for months and it is time to get it out of the way, what better way to do so than to install the darn thing in its final location? While I am at it, I am fixing up a batch of beans that will feed me ...

    Hello Sean: super job, love how you learn as you go on or do it. The wall is coming out super and it looks well done. The top piece is easy get a piece of card board and make a tile size, cut out with a knife trace to the slate and cut with your grinder cemment disc you will do fine just take your time, I know you can do it.
