Ross spent all day helping me yesterday. He’ll probably never come back for fear I’ll be remodeling something! Actually, Ross loves remodeling and construction and probably only wishes I’d had something he could have used a power tool on. We went to the big city in his truck, offloaded an entire truckload of trash I’d accumulated downstairs in cleaning out, then picked up two big freestanding shelving units (which he later put together for me) at Lowe’s and a refrigerator at the scratch ‘n’ dent store! It’s the beginning of my workshop kitchen! I have that area cleaned out now and have started painting the block wall in the kitchen. (PIctured: Ross watching the fridge at the scratch ‘n’ dent store being loaded onto his truck.)

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

I agree with Miss Judy, I am beginning to reap the benefits with my oldest boy (22). I guess I did “something” right! It’s really neat to watch children become adults; it’s amazing the way our relationships with them change and grow as they do!

My son helped me hoe my garden last weekend when he was home.. But weeds are still winning. Can’t wait to see pictures of completed workshop kitchen.

A few years ago, I put a “kitchen” in our basement, it was one of the best things I ever did–now the basement is not a fancy finished basement, I painted the walls, but a fridge and a gas range down there, found a huge old heavy oak table that had been in a store, that is my work space, and I built storage shelves and found an old cupord with glass doors for storage and pantry. On hot days I bake down there to keep the house cooler. Very cabin-like, but I love it.
