trains and boats and home depot



It felt like spring last week in New York, and so it was time to leave it and seek out Home Depot. Today the timber frame for my sister's house goes up. In a week or so H and C move into their new place. And within the month I take possession of the Goose. We are all thinking about ladders and paint and cleaning supplies. I have looked up my new local Home Depots and found that the Poplar Bluffs one, at two hours away, is a half an hour closer than the Mountain Home, Ark., one. I bought some paint here at the Massachusetts one.

God, you guys are SO annoying.

If you're not building something, you're buying it and renovating it.

Now you have, between all three of you.. how many structures? Not to mention an apartment on the Upper White Side.

Aren't you always telling me you want to simplify your lives?

Why don't you just do what SOME of us do? Buy an historic home, and live in it for fifty or sixty years
until you either die, or the Federal Government throws you out??

Let's get with the program, people.

As far as I am concerned there is no better therapy than fixing up or building so get with the program.....we are building racks for paintings in the studio basement right now so for today..no identity crisis...no problems that a good hammer and nail can't fix( could be a screw gun)....just keep building renovating working and voila!!! you get a life second to none ... very simple? it's all about the home ...the place we live and work... what could be more real than Real Estate in an out of control economy and crazy world?

You forget the Andrews credo: "Don't change a thing!"

But yes, you can paint it.

On canvas.
