I have been broadening my horizons. Specifically in the field of carpentry/construction. We are madly trying to finish this darn house and therefore I am doing things I haven’t ever done nor want to ever do AGAIN!

But…I have to admit that I am pretty proud of my tiling job. I did the grout work in my “craft room”~an extra kitchen/bedroom that we converted for a craft room. I am thrilled to have a back-up plan in case this whole health care system eventually goes to pot. I can be a grouter.

Or, I think it would also be awesome to be one of those people that name all of the paint colors at the home improvement stores. For example, the craft room is “dandelion”. Well my father-in-law kept calling it canary yellow and I accidentally referred to it as daffodil. How, I ask you…does one decide the difference!

Just like our deck below…the stain I picked out is “banjo brown”. How awesome is that. Thankfully we like the color because I am sure the pure coolness of the name “banjo brown” probably weighed heavily on my decision to purchase that exact color!

Anyway I think it would be a great job to just have to decide what fun name to call a color. If you hear of an opening in this field or if you know where I need to go for this type of training let me know.
