You seem to be living my dream life, right down to the garden and chickens.

Can...can I live with you? :ohdear: My knitting doesn't take up that much room, and I'm told I make a mean meatloaf.

Well, now that all depends. Are you willing to live in Canada's frozen plain?

Yes. And I can knit a cozy for every single item in that house! :eng101:

As for the mudroom, well, my parents have one, and it just becomes a junk storage closet. I have a hall closet at least, so I can hang up some coats, and some boots maybe, but that's all there's room for. That's all I wanted, it'll keep me honest and prevent me from storing poo poo I don't need.

I find it really depends on the size of the mudroom. I live in an old farmhouse and our mudroom is just big enough for our shoes and a little counter space that we keep the crockpot on.

I think it's more handy if you have a lot to people to track mud in. Or kids.

Barn Owl is right. You're building a house from the ground up. You NEED to turn that Den into a secret room.

So I can fill it with shelves full of food and water for the apocalypse.

No really, I just want to have it as storage and general use. Maybe the odd LAN party. You can't have a LAN party in a nice room, it has to be a dark cement hole, it's part of the atmosphere.

You can be like my parents and fill the basement with storage bins filled with napkins/papertowels/cans and sugar.

Dear God sugar packets. There has to be about 1/4th of a bin of just that in plastic baggies.

Welding gloves are the best oven mitts. I have three pairs -- one for the kitchen, one for work rearranging frozen-food cases in grocery stores (insulation works both ways), and one for actually welding.

I have a pair for the kitchen, but I go through one every year. The same thing keeps happening: I get some sort of food/sauce on them and that part of the glove loses all of it's insulating powers. Is this normal, or do I need to find a better pair of gloves?

Slung Blade, I wanted to let you know that this thread inspired me. Instead of doing a crappy paint job on my new living space I actually went through and fixed that poo poo.

Sanded and washed the walls, sealed the cracks, fixed the screens on the windows, and a brand spanking new rug. It's not much, but it was more than the "coat of paint and call it a day" I was originally planning.

Couldn't have done it without you. :patriot:

Considering how often I play with metal I should probably be more diligent about my immunization anyway.
