On Dutch Doors
It happens every spring, as a homeowner I get excited for projects with the weather beginning to turn nice. One thing I've been thinking about was a new door into our back garage. Up to today, I had thought of the split doors you see in cliche farms, where the lower half can stay closed but the upper half swings open (presumably to keep livestock out of the house). A quick googling for "Split door name" revealed these to be called "Dutch doors."
And then I discovered how expensive they can be from somewhere like Home Depot. Crazy.

I want a cabin
My wife knows it is on my list of things to do in life: acquire a cabin. I've wanted it for years and years and as I grow older it seems attainable, eventually. This cabin on Defector, shared with a terribly overexposed image initially is actually fantastic and I would love to use it as a basis for my eventual home. Maybe. One day.
