Wendy writes about our weekend on the cabin weblog.  It was a weekend of good books, Chuck E. Cheese, some lacrosse, coffee, and a dog that wouldn’t get out of the bed and a son that wouldn’t stop trying to get back in.  Oh right, this happened. As you can see, it was going good and [...]

A couple of weeks ago I realized that I hadn’t taken any vacation days in 2011.  I have three weeks and over a week of flex time to use so I decided to take some this fall.  With Mark playing Kinsmen Football, I can’t really get away or he doesn’t get to practice so instead [...]

I have never been a big fan of NDP leader Jack Layton but this week just seemed to sum it all up.  Every time I flipped on the news, there was Jack talking up a storm about Stephen Harper’s secret agenda in changing the name of Indian and Northern Affairs to the more politically correct [...]

On Tuesday night a violent wind ripped through Arlington Beach and there was casualties.  Among others (our neighbors gazebo), our gazebo suffered a premature death.  Several of it’s welds broke which lead to a pretty big structural collapse. Now I think we only paid $99 for it from Superstore but I am unsure if I [...]

I just blogged about this over at The Cooper Cabin.  They are Katrina Cottages and are low cost but significant upgrades over the FEMA trailers designed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.  As soon as I saw them and some other low impact houses over the years, I can’t help but think of them as [...]

I haven’t posted much here lately for the obvious reasons that life has been quite busy.

The weekend started off poorly.  Wendy and I picked up the Festiva last night from our mechanic.  The bill was well below what I thought it would be which is a good thing.  As I was heading home, some moron ran a red and to avoid the collision, I swerved and hit the curb.  Saskatoon’s [...]

I was asked about the advertising I have on some of our sites the other day.  I sent most of this via e-mail but after I was asked about this again, I thought I would post it here. I have never thought advertising was that big of a money maker.  If you have time, look [...]

When we bought the cabin, I put up a quick free blog hosted on Blogspot to post photos to so we could show the changes the cabin has gone through.  While we have done that, I have posted a lot of design and architecture links to it as well which has generated a growing amount [...]
