It feels SO good to finally be able to say this after a LONG week of re-arranging, sweeping, lifting heavy tools, and building shop furniture… OUR SHOP IS FINALLY DONE!! As much as we wished we could just spend an entire month getting every single detail of this space EXACTLY the way we want it…we…
So for the past few months we’ve been talking about how when we moved down to Texas from North Dakota we would be tearing down our entire shop and having to build it all over again. Well, the time has come and here we are. With a garage full of boxes covered in tape and…
I know what you’re thinking based on the title….are they back?? Are they actually building again?!! Uhhh….kind of! We have finally made it down to Texas and are all moved into our new place. We’re setting up the shop right after I finish this post, actually. BUT – the reason we were able to start…

Do you ever use certain tools and remember when you bought them? Like remembering what project you bought it for, or when your last one died at the most inconvenient time and you had to sprint out and buy the one you use now? Fine – it may sound kind of cheesy, but we have…
