Yaadwook

No one had lived in our house for nearly 10 months when we moved in. As a result, there seems to be a never-ending list of fix-it projects that consume the majority of our weekends. I suppose it's all part of the joys of home-ownership. Most projects have been inside, ranging from replacing electrical outlets to installing new toilet seats (a must-do from my perspective). But recent weekends have had the entire family outside toiling at "yaadwook".

Fortunately for us, Grandpa believes every gift-giving occasion (birthdays, Christmas stockings, house-warmings, etc.) is yet another opportunity to add to our tool collection. Much of that collection has been put to good use recently. Last weekend we took the tags off our suburban chainsaw — a 10A reciprocating saw with swappable 6 inch blades. With Lucie and Ryan yelling timber, we made swift work of the one tree in our yard.
