It's home. A few years ago a sand plant built bought the land adjacent to mine and began mining and processing sand there. It's made living here much less desirable because of the noise and dust but there is a scope of treesDavid Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704784420402088268.post-81231066571803902812013-12-31T23:58:02.283-08:002013-12-31T23:58:02.283-08:00David, your house is amazing !! and you built it a...David, your house is amazing !! and you built it all yourself ???

He told me many things including things you pretty much have to understand like laying studs out on center. Still I made lots of mistakes but its been home for over 30 years.<br /><br />Your wife and the cats, *laughing* yeahDavid Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704784420402088268.post-42693150245717060332013-06-03T08:38:13.648-07:002013-06-03T08:38:13.648-07:00Nice house.

I appreciate it greatly especially as it seems difficult breaking into the blogosphere now with so much competition from Facebook and Twitter.<br /><br />At your blog, that must be your dog in the photo.
