Man, if I came up with a “hearty beef stew” scented candle, I’d be a billionaire. There’s nothing like a scent like that to make a house feel like a home. (I really don’t “like” that I used the...
Another cool day today, but it is supposed to “warm up” next week and be in the 50s, so I’ll be able to finish the egress window well insulation then. Because it is still chilly and overcast, it felt...
