It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Jack today. We gave him a great rescued life. Despite his tough start on this earth, he gave love, and got love. His grumpy face will be missed.

Chilling at the end of a long day with my “set of Setters”. Phoebe (Irish) and Phin (English) love to nap under my recliner.

I am in need of someone to remove this basketball net and pole. I tried to use a grinder but the steel is too thick. Will require and cutting torch. Anyone willing to do this? Happy to pay a fee.

Gym class one day per week, if kids don’t get excused all together!? They dont build them like they used to. If we don’t let them grow, they will be weak as they mature. Food for thought.

Home Buyer: I want a house built after 1980.
Me: Actually, you don't.
Let me explain.
Newer isn't always better, and this picture sums it up pretty well. The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century. Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted. Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood. Slow growth wood yields much more heartwood, which is the longest lasting part of the tree, whereas sap wood (new growth wood) will rot very quickly. Modern lumber is also a lot more prone to termite damage as it is softer and easier to consume whereas old lumber is extremely resinous and naturally termite resistant. A good rule - as long as the plumbing and electric has been updated, a well-built home from the mid-20th century is a better investment and will likely outlast a newer build. For more info on old growth wood versus modern lumber please read this great article: https://bit.ly/3h7MbBr

*Clarification: Yes, these two pieces of lumber come from two different trees. The expert in the attached article is not comparing the lumber of the same tree over time. He is comparing the lumber that was commonly used to build houses 75 years ago versus the lumber commonly used to build houses today.

A much needed over night, island camp on the Swatty to “recharge the batteries”. Time well spent. Now, I’m all set for the work week at OMP!
