Just here to say hi. Mostly a repository of woodworking and renovation photos.
My wife did Santa pictures with proceeds going to the Santa Claus fund.

She wanted a donation box, and luckily I had enough scrap lying around.

It’s not quite done yet-needs cushions added but it’s a collapsible baby posing table that tucks into the wall. Another idea from the wife.

Wife had a cool idea to have a rolling magnetic wall for photos, the other side is for drop-down backdrops

Got my Canadian CPA back in 2022. Then my US CPA Designation in 2023.

Not so visually impressive as the woodworking photos though.

Summer 2023, pulled up the carpets replaced the flooring in the upstairs bedrooms. (Also trim, painted, etc.)

Unfortunately the old oak floors are too damaged to want to tackle right now.

It could be done but it’s more than a weekend job.

Our old front landing disintegrated, prior owner did a handyman special many years ago to disguise the damage so we didn’t realize how bad it was.

Tore it down and replaced it in one very long weekend. Stair math is fun.
