Never knew what a green thumb President Thomas Jefferson had! Nation-Building, Architecture, Agriculture ... a true Renaissance Man in Colonial America.

He was more than that this Mason-he foretold the weather bombs we are having now. He said "Knowing that God's Justice can't sleep forever. I tremble for my nation" which ties in with Gov Jerry Brown (Of California)on CBS 60 min episode about a month and a half ago: And Jerry said: "I don't think the president doesn't understand the wrath of God"

I purchased three doors that came from a 100 year old house that was being torn down in San Francisco for twenty bucks. They had seven coats of paint on them. When I finish stripping all three turns out they where mahogany . Love going to salvage places

we're fixing up a ninteen forties house we put in a fireplace in the dining room picked up an old double mantle for a hundred fifty dollars, missing the mirror but that can be easily replaced. kept the kitchen yhe way it was the eat in area was way too small so we turned it into pantry. we put an old beadboard chifferobe and another fridge in it. didn't change much of the house but the bathroom. everything was ripped out but the tub. got a beautiful solid wood vanity with stone top for 100$ . this house was a real fixer upper. the electricity was ripped out, even outside. the plumbing was ripped out too we found the pipe going from the meter to the house was rusted through too. my hubby replaced everything in two weeks plus working 12 hour shifts for one of those weeks. my daughter and I scaped wall and ceilings and painted too . plus we moved most of our stuff in. I'm unloading boxes . I had to stop I fell and fractured my hip.
