I must say I had an enjoyable week. First, I started by building a Cornhole set for my neighbors anniversary (pardon the team) and then my brother drove up for the weekend to build this beautiful wine cabinet. My brother Steven wanted to build this wine cabinet for some friends and of course I was happy to help. I got to use all my tools and even drew it up on AutoCAD, so you know I was happy. It took us almost 2 days to build and is made out of oak. He took it home to stain, so I can't wait to see it finished. I really enjoyed spending some time with my brother and just getting out in the garage and building something.

Meredith and I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!
Meredith and I couldn't of ask for a better start to our Valentine's Day. We woke up with a blanket of snow on the ground (about 1/2") with more on the way. First thing I did was get the fire going. Then Meredith and I cooked breakfast together. Good ole' southern biscuits and gravy with bacon on the side and some strawberries. Meredith made the biscuits and cut them out into heart shapes.
I am truly bless to have such a wonderful and loving wife.

I loved these biscuits.

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!

I secured it into a stud.

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!!!!
