Not that I need an adorable way to display toothpicks, but how cute is this little guy? Oh Etsy, why can't I quit you and your crazy, crazy toothpick monsters?
For the last couple months we've been literally tearing the roof off this joint (our house). I wanted a car port since we moved in, and seven years later we're doing it. Regan has been opposed to the project from the start, I think simply because he figured it wasn't worth the hassle, but he's warming to it now. I'll grant him that it has been more of a hassle than I even thought. Ugh. The shingles took WAY longer to complete than they should have BUT they are all done now and I think it really changes the curb appeal of the house. I just wanted somewhere to park my car that's sheltered from the mounds of snow that we tend to get every winter. I HATE snow falling off the edge of the car door (even after you've brushed it off) onto your seat and then you have to sit in wet, cold, melting snow. Yuck. So yes, all the hassle for me is worth it, just to get rid of THAT. I know I'm crazy but I don't care. One day we may even close in the sides and make it a proper garage, but for now we'll focus on getting the siding and soffit back up there. There's probably already an extended family of squirrels living in our attic so there's really no big hurry. ha! For Meat Rainbow there will be Christmas decorations but also construction. Watch your step! You have been warned. |
