  • Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 21 (4/19)

    It rained like crazy all day Monday, but luckily it tapered off by the evening so I was able to get another evening’s work in. It was VERY muddy though, and I don’t know why, but the mud was particularly smelly. So everyone enjoyed me I’m sure! First order of business was securing the ladder…

  • Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 20 (4/18)

    Sunday again was a (beautiful) day of rest, so I was back on the playset work come Monday evening. Hard to believe I’ve been at this for nearly 3 weeks now! I’m of two minds as to the length of time. On the one hand, I could have had this playset up a lot sooner…

  • Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 15 (4/13)

    After getting in a few hours on Saturday after the rain, I did not work on Sunday as usual and then was rained out on Monday. Tuesday we had van troubles and I was not in the mood to continue playset work, so it was Wednesday before I was able to get back into things.…

  • Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 9 (4/7)

    They say it’s my birthday!! Doo doo doo doo doo duh doo! But what could be more fun to do on your birthday than continue building a giant playset?!?!? I’m not sure. Now that the playset is out in its “final resting place”, it is a little more challenging to get set up and put…

  • Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 6 (4/4)

    Day 5 was Sunday aka a Day of Rest. So no work done until Monday (4/4/11). I had originally coordinated with my coworker Geoff to come over on Saturday. He is also building a playset this summer, so the thought was that we would swap labor – he’d help me on mine, and I’d help…

  • Miller family humor

    So today my oldest son and I worked on some “fortunes”. These are like fortune cookies I guess, where you open them up and have a little saying inside. These are all his original jokes Why did Scott pour water in his pants? To look like he peed his pants Why did the kid break…

  • 2009 Staycation, Part 4

    Part 4 of the Great 2009 Staycation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but I have finally gotten around to it. So, Tuesday, we originally were going to head downtown, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out great. So instead we just took kind of…

  • 2009 Staycation, Part 3

    Part 3 of the great 2009 Staycation! (Part 1 and Part 2) Saturday and Sunday we hung out at my parents house. For some reason we didn’t really take any pictures, so…. sorry! Saturday we had some friends of ours (the Olmsteds and Broadbents) that had moved from Cincinnati to Cleveland over for a BBQ.…

  • 2009 Staycation, Part 2

    Continuing my staycation report (Part 1). Thursday was a relax day. Well, it was supposed to be relaxing in that we didn’t really go anywhere. But it wasn’t so much relaxing since we had tons of shopping, cleaning, packing and preparing for our weekend trip up to Cleveland! Friday we got up early (well normal…

  • $100 in coins!!!!!!

    So as many of you are undoubtedly aware, for the past year or so (okay, okay, it’s been exactly 380 days according to my nerdy detailed spreadsheet), I have been trying to find $100 in coins. Well, actually it started out being just coins but I expanded it to just any found money. I went…
