Spring has Started.

According to the calendar it's spring. According to the snow this morning... not so much.

Last night I got the drawer rails for the front panel glued together as well as the back and sides of the base. That clean uncluttered little room with the freezer and the new shelves stayed clean and uncluttered for about ten seconds after I got home, and now the floor if full of glued pieces of wood all clamped tightly together.

We are challenging our property tax assessment this year, because it has gone up 12 percent two years in a row, and there are almost no services down our road to warrant such an increase. We have to cross the highway to get our mail from the little community box at the far end of the road, there is no cable, no highspeed internet, the garbage is only picked up once every two weeks, there's no community centers, I even had to sign a permission slip for the school bus to turn aorund in our driveway or they wouldn't pick up Marshall's (He's the first house on our road)kids for school. They're young kids and they would have had to cross the three lane anrterial highway to catch the bus. There's no way we're letting them raise our property tax by 12% without a fight.

The assessor is coming to the house tomorrow morning, so I will have to spent this evening cleaning up a bit. I been so busy building I haven't been keeping up with the cleaning so the kitchen looks like it hemoraged dishes and pots, the rest of the upstairs has little dog hair bunnies in the corners, and you don't want to know about the bathroom. That's just the main floor... the basement is a total write off at the moment, everything is covered in sawdust, wood shavings, and actual pieces of wood.
