Don't know how you do it man. I at least have to have a window to look out of and if it's even remotely decent out I've got the shop doors open.
My office used to be a shower or utility closet. Not sure which.

I envy you being able to work out doors sometimes. Stuck inside all day in front of a computer at work can kind of suck.

This is my daily view...

Enjoy the outdoors buddy!

Don't know how you do it man. I at least have to have a window to look out of and if it's even remotely decent out I've got the shop doors open.
I grew up on 8 acres of mostly wooded land in rural Illinois outside Edwardsville. Farmland all around us. I don't remember spending much time in doors when I was growing up. This is my payback.

A special brand of stupid. The people I sold my business to sucked, they sold it to another guy whose good. He was in the industry working for someone else when I was around. He knows his stuff and he's a good guy. He calls me up today and asks if I remember selling to this family and I said yes. He says well you won't believe this they think you spelled loving wrong. I ask how do they think it should be and he says "loveing." lol I guess they are going to pay him to basically go in and spell it wrong. That's special right there.

He couldn't convince them they were spelling it wrong....or here's an idea, open up a dictionary for them before the go and do something REALLY stupid.

Sorry to say, but letting someone do that on a headstone qualifies as "stupid" in my book as well.

The neighbor always parks their second vehicle blocking the sidewalk unnecessarily. They have room for both but still every evening they block the sidewalk.

granted its not a game changer but it looks/feels tacky to me and i feel like the ribbed edge of the glass to fit the cap on makes pouring worse (if that makes sense)
