Sled riding

Tristen Savannah Miranda and Abigail enjoying last weekend. Fa la la la la.

Tour of KC 2008

Me and Chung fighting it out to the finish line. Lets just say we were going for first.

Job Change (one year later)

My timing in my job change was great and I moved from timber wright using chisels for mortise and tenon work to timber wright using AutoCad to draw our frames. I spend a lot of time doing preliminary designs for potential clients, but occasionally I get to draw all the way to the finish...

This is the second frame that I drew. It has a valley system in the great room that sped up my balding - unfortunately, compound joinery was not covered in my English classes at KSU.






This was my first frame. A barn with straight-forward joinery. I wish I got to live in something as nice as these horses are getting.

Retirement Room

Despite record rains, we were able to get Denny's timber frame up at the lake.







In just three days in early September, we went from a perfect slab (thanks U. Rich) to a dried in room with windows installed. We are waiting for an update from the finish crew, but the potential for the room is tremendous.

Eric's Flyover

We had a visitor...








it kind of scared the neighbors...








Eric waved hello.

Halloween

We had a knight and his attack leopard for Halloween this year. It also marks my 17th anniversary for remission.

Inspiration

Doing some rock work yesterday with my friend, Clay, inspired me to want to spend some time at the computer. So here I go with trying to put some time into the blog. We have a digital camera now so I can try to give some updates on life in the Southwest.
