Yesterday a friend ours was out looking for a few photo opportunities. She was out in a farmers field and one of the workers told her she could get a nice sunset shot if she climbed the berm at the end of the field. It overlooks the everglades. As she ascended the hill she slipped and fell. She grabbed a couple of tree branches and struggled
to her feet. Looking down she noticed a snake curled near where he face had just been. At first she thought she had encountered a Burmese Python. She took a pic and sent it out to her friends. One of her viewers messaged back. "Get the f@(% out of there. That's a rattler." which in fact it was. We all chided her and told her she was lucky she didn't get bit. She was out in the middle of nowhere and if they had to come get her they probably would have had to send a helicopter. Turns out it was a Pygmy Rattler. My biologist neighbor had just posted the day before that the Eastern Diamondback Rattlers are out in force right now. Guess I won't be doing any trail walks anytime soon. ;) |

Don't dig snakes no matter what they are. Lucky she didn't get bit, would've required a change in pants for me after however.
Tommy, I just saw that hutch posted on FB. It was a hutch that was a two-part unit they hung one and put the other on the floor and did to match other cabinets. I love the idea. I'm needing a small china type cabinet currently and this is a good idea for me provided what I find I can get finished to match the rest. Otherwise it would have to be a unique stand-alone piece. Nice out here today, currently in the middle of a radio live remote but that's for the tint side, not me so all is quiet over here. Have a good day! |

It was originally a standing dining room China cabinet / buffet. They either separated it (if two pieces) or cut it in half. Bottom got a counter top, top was hung on the wall. |

This is the post that I referenced above for the cabinet, the page I saw it on was a group I"m in (Mid Century Modern). It was shared from a Habitat for Humanity site. The HFH site post links the creator's FB page as well:

Hey guys.... been another busy day. Installed the microwave, oven and dishwasher (minus the actual plumbing hook ups, I drilled holes in the cabinet sides to feed the hoses, connected the electrical) Then in the afternoon I thought I'd get a chance to work on those cabinets and just barely got started , when Rosie calls me.... "Will you be able to go down to the lumber yard and get their fork lift to take a refrigerator off the FedEx truck?" "Sure, when is it going to be here?" "It's sitting in the alley now waiting for you...." Well, F@*K. So I jump in the pickup and run down to the lumberyard and tell them I need the fork... "The keys are in it." So I park the pickup and go try and start the fork.....rhuh, rhuh, rhuuuuh, The freaking battery is dead...sh!t. So I go back in and ask them about jumping it, "Sure! But we don't have jumpers." "That's OK, I do." So I get back in the pickup and pull around where the fork is and it takes us about 10 minutes to FIND the battery and another freaking 10 minutes to wrangle the cables around to where we can actually hook them up. Rur, rur, rur....still no start. About that time the owner pulls up and wonders what we are doing (he's been gone for lunch). "well." he says, "we need some starting fluid." so off he goes to find starting fluid, I try again and it almost wants to start, he comes back (without any starting fluid) and says "Did you hod the glow plug button down?" "No, it is 54 degrees, does it need to have that done?" "Well, that' what happens when it gets cold." I hold the glow plug button down for a little bit, and it fires up. I drive across town and, thankfully the FedEx guy is waiting patiently. I get it unloaded, set it down where Rosie wants it by the back door and I head back......well, basically it took a freaking hour to do what should have been a 10 minute job. Back to the shop and I actually get the cabinets ready to go out to the finisher by 5:30 pm
I'll take those out tomorrow. Didn't get as warm as they said today, but it was still pretty nice for the first part of December. Time for bed. |
