AOTW - Week 24; Dolly Parton - Love Is Like A Butterfly

Image
Finally back up-to-date, and back on to some Country music.  

AOTW - Week 23; Florence and the Machine - Lungs

Image
A blast from the past. I remember Dog Days Are Over coming on on the radio on the way home from work one evening, and I was nodding away to it. So time to see what a full album is like.  

AOTW - Week 22; Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

Image
Another album from the joys of playing GTA V. There seems to be a couple of songs either his or him featuring whenever I'm the Franklin character.  

AOTW - Week 21; Janet Jackson - Design of a Decade

Image
Another album picked by the other half. Janet Jackson  

AOTW - Week 20; Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Image
Apologies, I've gotten behind on these recently. Week 20 was another Jazz inspired album in the form of Miles Davis  

Project "BBQ Deck House" - Using My Noggin

Image
After a ton of research, I cannot find anywhere that advises on the spacing of what I have recently discovered are called "noggins". My initial plan looked like overkill, and from various online sources some even said you don't need them for decking as the deck itself acts as a noggin.

Project "BBQ Deck House" - A Tweak To The Plans

Image
Over the weekend I was looking at the designs again, and decided to start adding measurements to the plans. That's when I noticed I got the front face wrong. Instead of being 8.1m, I did it at 8.0m. Not a massive amount, but enough that meant I needed to revise the plans.

Okie dokie, here we go. A short sweet intro. A couple of months back (well, maybe the end of 2015) we decided we would look at a new place to live. So we popped along to a show house on a new build and had a think. After a few months of thinking and looking, we've decided to stay put.
