How We Built An Outdoor Bench
This year we had to buy new outdoor furniture for our screened in sunroom. The previous set lasted about 12 years but alas, the sun and elements did a number on them. I was sad to see them go they were so comfortable, but it was time.

Nova Scotia RCMP Map
If you look back to our second last post on making custom maps, you will see the six maps we made for the Royal Canadian Moutned Police (RCMP). We have done three more of the larger ones since that post and now we have another one to build but this one will be a bit different so I thought I would show you.

Custom Map Of Nova Scotia For RCMP
No stopping us now!! We’re on a roll. We were contacted by the Pictou County RCMP requesting a map of Nova Scotia similar to the other 6 maps we have done for them. Since then we have completed two more, all similar in size with the badge number included. For this one, we were asked if it was possible to have the RCMP crest in the lower right hand corner.

Gnome House From A Tree Stump
Last year in the fall I believe, Jim cut down a large pine tree on our lawn which we had planted 20 years ago. The top was split and I wasn’t sad to see it go because it was forever dropping pine cones which would zing me in the leg while mowing not to mention the pine needles all over the flower bed. So good riddance I say.
