I Have A Cousin....

. Tuesday, June 9, 2015 .
....who is extremely gifted when it comes to making things with her hands.  It doesn't matter what it is, everything she makes is awesome.  So I was visiting with her and the old people, (my dad and my two crazy aunts) and I asked about some wood that she had stacked in her back yard.  She had just finished building the most gorgeous house.  To build the house she had to tear down her grandparents house.  She saved some of the wood thinking she would do something with it someday.  I am so glad she did and that she was willing to share.
 
Of course some of it had to come home with me.  I knew exactly what we were going to make.  I am so excited about it.

I get my trusty helper out in the cold...


We measured.  We cut.  We get it almost put together and something is wrong.  Our angles are off.  And if your angles are off by just a smidge you are in trouble.  We are in trouble.  We used up pretty much all of the wood trying to get it right.  I called in outside help.  Dave had trouble getting the angles just right.  So in the garage I have four pieces of wood to put together and no one wants to help me finish the project.  It will be awesome when it is finished.  Just not sure when that will be.
