How Many Years Do Wood Fences Last?
During periods of time when we spend longer stretches at home (the best example of which may be most recently when folks have not had a choice but to spend longer stretches at home!), we obviously have a higher tendency to notice “things”.

Don’t Wait!!
Obviously we are in the midst of one of the most challenging times that we as a society have ever experienced. I have been fortunate enough to be on this Earth for 4+ decades and I definitely have not seen anything close to this. There is fear. There is uncertainty. There is awkwardness. From […]

Are Doorbells Falling by Way of the Shutter??
Over time, things that were SUPER purposeful during one time period, may fade away into obsoleteness, to the point where they may be really cool to look at, but don’t serve much purpose beyond that.
