Snow Shoveling

We just did this very short, silent comedy film titled "Snow Shoveling".  It is sort of a tribute to the days of silent films when Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy and others dominated the big screen.

You can catch a glimpse of the Good News Bus in the background.

Comment below and let us know what you think.


Snow has to be moved....even if it is moved the hard way.

Our new project: Shot Gun, New Orleans Style House

My wife and I recently decided it was time to build a small home.  We have 7 children but we don't need much so my wife (www.houseplangirl.com) designed us a very nice, 1,100 sq ft home.  We are almost finished with it and so far we absolutely love it.

Here are some pics of the process:


Here is the foundation work we did.

Almost done with the exterior:


We decided to go with butcher block counter tops.  I think they would be a good option for a skoolie. They are very durable and cost effective.  We went with American Walnut.
