A New Link and Other Bits

I've added a new link to the blog.

Utne is an interesting read, they are both an online site and a bimonthly magazine. They run some good articles on green building from time to time. I would love to make my house self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. I'd love to be able to collect rain water for irrigation & drinking water (requires a $20,000 investment in purification & storage equipment the last time I checked), install some solar panels (not on the house), and install some energy saving devices (efficient appliances, lights, et cetera) I might someday, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Recycling lumber will have to suffice for the moment.

I'm shaking my weekly schedule up some, I'm taking Thursday off. My little sister (not so little, she 25 now) is in town for a week, and she offered to help me out with the Queen Thursday. She is also dragging my dad along too. With all that extra help, I think that I'll tear out a wall and move a doorway. Sounds like a good day's work.
