Fun little update on life and what's been keeping me away from the board :)
Hey guys and gals, I know I haven't been any way near active enough on this board in the past few years and that bites. So this post is going to be long and such. Honestly I haven't created anything new in quite a while, but I'm working on something to fix that :). So in the past two years, I changed jobs within our company (Mabe/GE Appliances) from Key Account Specialist to IT Helpdesk for the employees in Canada. It's been great so far! I've been renovating the house quite a bit out of my own hand, as the age of our house makes it unfavorable for the bank to loan us money to hire people to update it for us. We did get a new metal roof put on this spring though, which was awesome. Talking to the owner a little bit, he knows my father and gave us a bit of a discount. We figured why not use the discounted money, and make me a workshop that I can start making costumes again. Well so far, we're getting somewhere. And as Uncle Ed told me, here are some of the pics of the reno's that my hand was forced into doing. Again, because the bank approved us for a bunch of money, but then when the appraisal came through that the properties around us were worthless, making ours worthless, but ordering appliances to fit the renovated spaces, I had to do some drastic things. In the same 2 years, we have gone to Denver, Bermuda and Wales/England and enjoyed these places very much. Colorado and Bermuda was in conjunction with my wife's work meetings, and Wales was because my wife's family is from there. I also got my boater's licence and such and such. Oh and met Jake the Snake Roberts and survived Winter 2015!
Here are some pics along the way!
My Skeletor retooled.
Evil-Lyn costume done for my wife in a week.
Evil-Lyn and Skeletor (re-tooled)
Our 3 pups
Dread winter, yup, the top of the front door.
Me, from the second floor, with my shovel, waving to my wife from her office...

And replaced with glass/ceramic backsplash.

Workshop addition
This was at the end of today
Mask I've been working on, a multi-part endeavor.
Jake The Snake, wrestling against my buddy Vegan Wrestler!
Dog park I built last fall
Anyway, that's life in a nutshell. Forgot how peculiar photobucket was, but it's all good! Hope to be on here more, again, once finished the shed addition and insulation of old shed, Forbidden Shed Productions (forbiddenshedproductions.com) might be a reality soon :)
Can't wait to see and hear about what everyone else is doing and are doing.

Thanks for posting, great house you have there, and nice work on the new room! Always interesting to see how people live and your house seems to be in great shape also. Hope this winter you will have a little less snow.
