Brooke’s Garden House, Episode 3

The footings have been secured for my garden house, and I could not be more elated!

We’re cooking with gas, folks! RTB stopped by to hang with us for the day, and secure the concrete footings for the garden house. And, although one would think – and I market myself a research queen – that this project would take, maybe, a half day tops, would actually take a full day.

A long day.

Like a lunch, snack and dinner type of day with a few 15-minute breaks stuffed in.

Come and see all of the progress we’re making on the garden house build!! Few steps make for huge progress!!

Brooke’s Garden House, Episode 2

We’ve been making progress on the garden house, and little by little; rock by rock, the process is beginning. It’s like Mr. Magoo driving when his eyes are closed – ours too! Let’s just run through some red lights. Who cares anyway – just as long as we’re not hitting anybody, we’re cool. We have the garden house dimensions measured and marked, and the areas marked where the support beams need to be placed. Episode 2 us underway, and the commentary is laughable. Come and see for yourself!

Garden House Progress – Episode 1

You know what always ceases to amaze me?

Like, say I leave a couple huge windows leaning in front of the garage, waiting to be moved up to the garden house area in preparation for building.

Nah. Doesn’t even see them.

Doesn’t even pay attention.

After all, there is no glove nor mitt, no club, no tee, no golf ball involved in building a garden house. Just a lot of hard labor and sweat.

Or maybe he does notice, or recognize, but is choosing to look the other way?

Yeah, I bet that’s it.

Come with me and watch the first episode of Brooke’s Garden House!!

How To Repurpose A Gate With Antique Garden Tools

Do you ever tack on “ish” at the end of a word when you really mean kind of? I do all the time. Maybe it’s because I’m lazy when I speak? Perhaps. But for the most part I’m an abbreviator and if I can get out of rambling on about something, I’ll just throw in ish. Rather […]
