Reconfigured my walk-in closet

Gutted my walk-in closet. Put up a new wall to reconfigure the layout, re-textured everything, ditched the ugly pink the previous owners had, and repainted the whole thing. Last fall I realized I had the door for it lying around the whole time and finally hung it. Went from 12 feet of clothes rods to 18 feet.

Now I’m stuck on one decision: slim shoe rack on the wall, or a shoe cubby against the back wall instead of a second rod. Drop your vote below.

Trying to get grass to grow

I don’t know how many times I have ripped this out and replanted grass through the years and I just get nothing but weeds. I have sprayed many times. I have removed dirt buildup and started fresh and dug it up with a tiller and I still get weeds

Planting My Autumn Fantasy Maple — Hammers Aren’t Easy But I Got It Done

Got my Autumn Fantasy maple planted and staked down today. Hammers are tough for me with both arms ripped off and reattached in a 1992 farming accident, but I found a way to get it done. Always find a way. This tree will be beautiful in a few years.

Walking the Royal Gorge Bridge on a Wild Windy Day — 956 Feet Up and Bucking

Walked across the Royal Gorge Bridge in Cañon City Colorado today. 956 feet above the river. Super windy day and the whole bridge was jumping and bucking under my feet. Wild experience. Both arms ripped off in a farming accident in 1992 and successfully reattached. Heights and wind don’t scare me much anymore. Wanted to do the gondola and zip lines and swing but it was too windy to do it.

Up at pikes Peak today 14,115 feet above sea level. What a beautiful view, but very windy and chilly.

Coming for the planes of North Dakota farm country to pikes Peak was quite impressive.

In 1992, John Thompson had both arms ripped off by a grain auger while home alone. He walked 100 yards to his house, opened the door with his mouth, and used a pencil to call for help. Surgeons reattached both arms, and more than 30 years later he can still use them to paint, handle tools, and work.

Spending my birthday at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs

Down in Colorado Springs and we went to the garden of the gods today for my birthday. It was an amazing place to walk around on some easy trails. Got to see some deer running all over and a rattlesnake along the trail, which is really cool. Beautiful weather out. Look for my book Home in one piece on Amazon for my full story.

A 4 to 5 days job is now at the end of five weeks and this is where its at.

I hired a guy who told me it would take 4 to 5 days to do the entire job. It’s now been five weeks. He’s shown up at 10:30 at night, or he doesn’t show up at all. He keeps giving me finishing dates that he obviously doesn’t meet. At this point, I’m just going to do most of it myself and finish what I started, because he’s not getting anything done. It’s pretty sad when a disabled person can get way more work done than an able-bodied person

Title: My Contractor Refused to Dig the Hole. Both Arms Reattached. I Did It Myself.

My contractor didn’t want to dig out the hole for my egress window. Said it was too much work. He’s completely able bodied. I have both arms ripped off and reattached in a farming accident in 1992 and over 60 surgeries since then. So I grabbed a shovel and dug a 4 foot hole myself. Saved the money too.
