OK, back to the house. So these first few photos are just the front of the house, so you can see how awful it looks with the old-timey asphalt siding and beat down canopy.

Note the corner siding leaning against the house in this photo.

Adult Swim’s Sunday Night Shows

metal-guys2.jpg

The current Adult Swim line up is pretty good. I actually have a second article about AdultSwim shows or maybe even my third article . It’s rare that I don’t like one of their shows. I mean I’ve been watching their shows for a while. Early on, I never could really get into Space Ghost, but everything else was right up my alley. These days I’m very happy with the new season of Robot Chicken, The Boondocks, Metalocalypse and possibly the strongest show on right now, Lucy, Daughter of the Devil . Last night was the debut of Matt Maiellaro‘s new show, Stiff.

Some Guy In Hong Kong is Stealing My Blog Content

So this blog is really about a month old. And ALREADY I’ve got some guy in a far off land lifting my pages. I mean I’m happy it’s not some guy down the block. Because at least I can feel like he must have thought I wouldn’t find out or wouldn’t notice. But take a look at this.

Replacing a Hammer Handle

So I’m still in to talk about repairs around the house. Today it’s all about saving a hammer by changing the handle. Here is a link by the way to a PDF file to somebody else’s technique for doing the job-but, it’s like 95 times harder. If you’re a craftsman that might be the way to go, otherwise spend the 8 dollars for a new handle, and the little bag of shims that come with it.

Good old fashioned hammers with heavy heads are getting harder to find. You can find giant hammers. But smaller, Heavy Metal hammers are usually old like the one pictured below.
