A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it.

Gotta have a pinch of “opposites attract” action in there too. Some yin for the yang.
Definitely opposites for starters.They are hardcore straight😁!

On the elves last visit cradling Aggie, conversation ebbed and flowed about the attributes of what a life partner should have. Some of the highlights included:
1) Kind
2) Grit
3) Faded jeans and t-shirt over make up by circadian
4) 1+1=3, never 1-1=0
5) journey of hard knocks over pampered “how do you pump gas/ change oil/ change a tire” types
6) Love of old cars, pickups and dirt roads. Can handle No AC. No G-wagons.
7) Nature is church
8) Loves good food and music
9) Paying it forward
10) Loves cruising

Thoughts are welcome…
11) Loves Dogs. Non negotiable.
12) Honest and open communication. Seconding what @LDowney said, and this goes for your boys too. They should be clear with a potential partner on what they want and what their life goals are.
13) Patience. Nobody is perfect.

Worked on the tiny house. Counters in, sink in, instant hot water heaters, shower surround. Still have to anchor counters down and add a whole lot of trim for walls, floors, and doors. Then electrical fixtures and split ac system.

Kudos to you.
Seeing this scared me. If we had such a resort on the property, my bride would be banishing me from the house for the slightest infraction or allusion of an infraction. I love your work and creativity, but I will not be following your lead. lol
 
My avatar tag is my war cry. Trying to “finnish” so that I get to work on my stuff that awaits. We are fortunate that banishing to the shed in the slightest aint a thing in our fam…..Yet😁!!! Its gonna be a full house this summer. The elves will be home. My MIL and SIL are with us also. @thatcabledude will be using it as a bread and breakfast as he drives up from FL so that we can caravan to SAS. It will get good use when weekend wrenching happens. I have a fj140 build that needs some wiring which @thatcabledude has offered to marathon on when the time comes.

I have a 40 to get ready for SAS. Pile of parts await😩!

Creativity is all the :princess: department. She is wicked at house remodeling work as well.

SAS is in our plans too. I had thought the BJ70 was ready, but inspection this afternoon indicated that I need to investigate replacing the motor mounts. See you there
 
Spent the day finishing out all the trim work on the tiny house. Aggie was by my side. Getting a couple of rocking chairs for the porch to watch the upcoming summer sunrises with her. In other news, Lonestar allowed Aggie on his sacred couch. The ultimate welcome to the family.
