Final touches on kitchen
We found a "UFO" lamp cheap. We loved it but wife did not like color,
did not go with the kitchen so she repainted it and I re-wired. Photo of complete lamp also shows one of the cornice's we built. As soon as we put the chairs back together project will be complete. Took exactly one month https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bcl432fut...n_y6iur6a?dl=0 |

On our first dinner date (20 years ago) when she got up to use the ladies room I finished all the food on her plate. I'm now 66 years old and have only gained maybe ten pounds since the day I got out of the Army back in 1971. I eat so much I should weight 400 pounds though. My metabolism must be pretty high as I eat almost continuously (rarely go more than a couple hours without eating) and if it gets much over 70 degrees need to take my shirt off |
