New Beginings

Lets start with an intro.... Queen Matilda and I have been married for 10 years now. It has been great. We started out broken, bruised and down in the dirt. Do you want me to explain, OK. When we got married Matilda owed some $$$ and I was all busted up and had some $. Through some hard work and perseverance we were able to both get associates degrees from college and are now $$$$$ ahead. We have no children yet but are both looking forward to the day that we make our own or acquire some in bulk quantities. Our current project is a house we bought last July. It was a run down and filthy. Parts are still run down, parts are torn up, and some parts are looking much better. We have completely redone the kitchen, removed carpet,tile, and linoleum. We installed tile, wood flooring, and one small piece of new carpet. We still have to put in two bathrooms( one of which is torn out/up), interior doors, and baseboards. We have done some relandscaping(reusing items we already had) and have torn out a lot of ugly plants and cut back a bunch(103) oleanders and trimmed back some trees. We also removed 7 trees from our yard. Matilda is working on getting her sewing projects done, so keep an eye out for those baby blankets. When I am not working on the house or yard I can usually be found doing scouting stuff or being fat and lazy. I am also working on turning a 1982 CB750 into a cafe racer style bike. We love to work together and have many more projects to do. Matilda loves here rose bushes in the front yard. Look for pictures and such to start showing up.
