Project Arborcide Complete!

Two years of free brush removal day = Project Arborcide is complete!

Here's some "before" pictures from May 2010:

 

 

And here's the "after" picture from April 2011:

Now we just need a shrubbery!  One that looks nice... and not too expensive... 

Sawhorses complete!

Some time ago, I found these plans for replaceable insert stacking sawhorses.  I liked the idea of them, and I finally had a need for them, so I build a pair over the weekend:

Gluing the rails to the spacer

Glue drying on the rail/spacer component, cutting out gussets

Gluing/Screwing legs on

Complete!

They stack too!

I think they turned out pretty good. They feel really solid and are needed to hold the canoe while I work on it.

WunderList - A list management tool

I signed up for Wunderlist today.  It's pretty cool.  It fixes a problem I was having: notes jotted down in multiple electronic places: iPhone notes, gmail drafts, & txt files on my personal and work computers.  Now I can put everything in Wunderlist and I can access it from a web browser, windows program, or an app on my iPhone.  No more gmail drafts that I use as editable lists and never send!  Just Wunderlists now!

My Wunderlist

It's got some nifty features that make really easy to use; Like emailing lists into the program, just email me@wunderlist.com, the subject becomes the list name, and each line in the email becomes an item in the list (until there's a blank line).  When you go into the program later, you can drag and drop the order, and assign due dates if you like.  This makes it really easy to transfer data in, especially if you're like me and store lists in gmail drafts... I know, most of you are normal and write lists down on paper...
