Hitting the Links.

It's official. I have a new addiction. I've always liked golf, but never owned clubs until about 6 years ago when a former boss bought me a set of irons. Since then I've added some other clubs to my bag and tried to play once or twice a year when I was in Utah, Chicago, Arizona, etc. But since being back in Massachusetts I've tried to play more and really learn the game. Fortunately I have a good friend who loves golf as well, so we try (weather permitting) to play every Saturday. Between rain-outs, traveling, and other things that get in the way, I still usually play about twice a month. It still kills me how much it rains out here! Anyways....if you even wonder why I'm not answering my phone on Saturday morning, its probably because I'm doing alot of this...









My friend Scott.


Scott's Dad.


Scott's dad again. He loves that white sweater!


Ever once in a while Scott's younger brother will tag along too.



Finished! (mostly)

The tool room remodel is essentially complete. Technically, I still need to paint the floor, install the drop ceiling and install a door, but once I moved all the contents back into that room, I considered it complete!
I don't have too many "before" pictures, but overall I'm happy with the outcome. Finally I have a place to put all the tools and can easily find just about any tool I am looking for.


Before...


After! The workbench that sits just under the tool pegboard was a recent hand-me-down from my grandmother in Maine. It used to belong to my grandfather who passed away nearly 20 years ago and had been sitting unused in a basement for years. It was nice to have something of my grandfather's at my place now. It's a great, sturdy, workbench, too!

After!


Finally, some good storage for coats and shoes!
