building things; building love.

Nick built me a new kitchen table yesterday. It has that nice dusty Home Depot smell to it and after we sand the shit out of it, we're gonna stain it a dark chocolate brown. It's going to double as extra counter space. We keep talking about finding a good piece of property and starting work on a home; noting places where we can find discounted or scrap wood, and how so-and-so is getting rid of this or that and maybe we could get it for free, etc. The table is just the beginning. Building something is a slow process, it takes patience and resolve, love and determination. Sometimes its fun to just wing it, other times you gotta plan it out; put pencil to paper and draw a frame. So we're starting with the table, and we'll take our time and one day, we'll get to put up some real walls and sit back to admire what we've been building for so many years.
