To showcase odd videos, pics and music, Sweetie thought it may be cool to assemble a site to put it all together. Watch out, it’s really unpolished and strange. Thanks to Brian Faust for the rippin’ logo. He threw this together for Scott a while back.

The reason for the site was that we seemed to be able to get together once a week and have some fun… and coincidentally, pull a gig once a month. So, it made sense to put something up so people could see where we might be. At the same time, we have put together some goofy photos and even a video on an original. It’s all low-fi and crude. Please, lower your expectations and then click the link below. Till next time…

Yet another weekend of workin’ the wine cellar. It’s getting down to the exciting, yet frightening part. Frightening in that one wrong cut and I can screw a lot of things up. The latest pics show the plank paneling about done. There’s still a little more to put up. You will notice I have the 8 holes cut for the smal 3" cans that will circle the perimiter of the wine racks. These can be aimed down towards the racks and will provide the mood one needs when retiring to the cellar to bust open a bottle of the finest.

Still to do… the lower sofit under the racks. I expect this to be the most difficult part and the part that can make the whole plan work… or suck. I also need to plumb in the stationary tub. I’ve been aching to do this but I’ve held off so that it does not get in the way of the other millwork happening around the room. This thing has been waiting to go in since Oct. 2005! The last things to do are finish the tile behind the sink, install the racks and put up the crown molding. The crown molding will set this space off like nothing else. I’m telling you, it will be on fire! I got my sights set on some awesome crown molding and I’m holding off until my budget allows. Yes people, I’m talking musuem-like crown molding. This is the stuff you just can’t justify putting in many places.

Stay tuned for the next update in a week or so.

In the spirit if all mother’s in my life, I have planted a clematis in the back yard. To me, it represents longevity, renewal and beauty.

Just something to remind me that without my mother, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I am confident that my loving wife and mother of my children will play the same role in the lives of our little ones.

Over the weekend and a half day on Friday, the wine celler took a big step. Oh if I only had another 1-2 days on it. After extensive preparation and re-preparation within the walls, I got the 1/4" ply walls up and all the tonge and groove cedar planks installed.

I set the racks in the room just to get an idea of where it’s all heading. Not bad. I hope to finish this thing up by the end of March. Stay tuned for the final pics.

My nose is burnt, my board is on fire and my body is exhausted. This Utah trip was just WAY TOO GREAT. I’m not worthy. There is nothing like sushi, saki, hot-tubbin’ and shreding up some of the finest snow in North America. I’m back folks and I’m tired and ready to do it all over again.
