Well, I have my first EAP counseling session today. And I had a stress EKG on Monday. My personal feelings are that I did better than last November. But I was still looking for a little "self-therapy". So I started banging on things. Nope, I haven't lost it.
Cindy and I are starting our path toward a self-sufficient homestead this spring. We are going to get serious about a garden. We both like the idea of bio-intensive gardening, a la "square foot gardening." So I spent the morning building a 4' x 8' x 19" deep box for our first bed. I plan to fill this with the leaves (which I still haven't raked) and then top it off with some wonderful feed lot compost from a farmer friend of mine.
Now, I do have to put this in perspective though. It's only 28º outside and it's snowing. But it was a thoroughly enjoyable exercise. I did it all with hand tools, despite having all the power tools one would need to become an independent contractor (including air powered nail guns). Somehow, the physical process of building was all the more enjoyable for that.
Next comes a storage shed. Something on the scale of abour 12' x 16' I think. I believe it might just be another hand powered project also.
