My Handy Man





Scott has created a little work space for himself in "our" basement. Part of the common downstairs has a walled off room that can be closed and locked with a padlock, so we claimed it when we moved in almost two years ago. At first, we just stored boxes down there, but over time, Scott has turned it into bachelor space. He built himself shelves and a great work bench, all from scrap wood. He has been wanting to make a toolbox for several months. He found this wood in a junk pile, but it is beautiful. He is all about recycling goods. He has a silly motto that says, "Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do or Do without." He was pretty excited that he didn't pay for anything except the stain!

I consider myself pretty handy and I don't know one end of a screwdriver from another!

No, seriously it is such a wonderful thing. I love the tool box. It will be special to hand down to a son someday ;)

love you!

P.S. thank you for the valentine goodies. We just got them in the mail yesterday and ate them after lunch today. The kids (all 3) look like pirates with their tattoos!
