If you had seen my wood pile before I decided to get organized, I'm sorry. It was well past time for me to get my sheet wood in some sort of order. I did a little research and found a great way to store all my wood scraps. I got some great tools for Christmas and this was a perfect opportunity to try them out. So, this project took me a little over a hour to build and only had to buy (2) hinges, (1) 2x12x10 and (1) caster. For the sides, I used some scrap wood that I had in my pile. The feature that makes this such a great storage unit is that it swings out 90 degrees. This makes it much easier to get any piece of wood that I need. I was amazed at how much room was freed up after I loaded all the wood. Here are some pictures of the final product!
Swiveled out at 45 degrees
I secured it into a stud.
All full!!!!

Meredith and I had a great visit from my mom and dad this week. The fun part about it was that my dad flew his plane to Madison County Executive Airport. It was great seeing his new plane and to watch him take off. We started our visit at the Smokehouse at Bridge Street and had some great BBQ. Then after we ate, we walked over to Monoco pictures and watched the Blind Side. I highly recommend seeing this movie! The night ended in some funny and exciting Wii challenges. Great times and I (Meredith not so much) can't wait to go flying with "Bruce the Pilot" again.

This is a wonderful time of year for the Horne Family. Meredith and I always start our fall off at the Great Pumpkin Patch in Hayden, Alabama. This is a special place for us as it is where Meredith and I got engaged. Great story behind that. So, we go every year and pick out 3 pumpkins. Mine always has to be the biggest one I can find, Meredith's always is round with a great stem, and of course Nemo fetches a pumpkin too! Another big tradition we have is that we have to watch all the Charlie Brown Specials, when they come on TV. Tonight was the The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Since Charlie Brown was on and Meredith made some Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Bars, what a perfect night to carve our pumpkins from the GPP. Meredith's is on the right and of course you can tell mine is on the left. I must confess, I do have a power tool to carve pumpkins. Once again everyone have a safe and frightful Halloween!Friday, October 23, 2009
I know it has been a long time since my last update but I love this time of year and will catch up soon. As you can see I was in the Halloween spirit and decided to cut a maze in my yard. Meredith thought I might have gone a little crazy, but hey its Halloween. I've already had some of the neighborhood kids try it out and had a great time with it. I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween.
Happy Halloween!!!!
Happy Halloween!!!!

Today I decided to get a little adventurous. I put on my waders and went fishing in the bog in our backyard. Seriously its not the size that counts. I ended up catching 4 fish (3 bass and 1 blue gill). The one you see in the picture put up quite fight, but I was able to persevere and land this whopper of a fish! Good Times!

I just walked outside to our backyard and animals are everywhere. I actually decided to count them this time and I came up with a total: 25 geese with 12 little baby geeselings, One duck with 6 ducklings, 3 turtles, 2 rabbits, and 2 squirrels plus Nemo for a total of 52 animals in our backyard, and I didn't count probably 30 birds in our half acre lot. I guess the full moon is bringing all the animals out but the zoo is free so stop by anytime.
