I married one talented MAN!

Brent is good at everything! He's somewhat of a perfectionist so whatever he does he does WELL! For those of you who have seen our large shed out back, Brent build that. With no background in construction he build a miniature house fully equipped with electricity, fans, an attic, well thought out shelves, lights and insulation. I wouldn't be surprised if Porter moved out there in 16 years to save on his rent. :) He has also designed and done all our landscaping, which looks great. We acquired a couple chickens a while back and he made the most amazing chicken coup. It had a detachable play yard, stairs, a long perch, 3 bedrooms upstairs with a door for each (to collect the eggs), easy access feeding and exit doors and other features. We decided to sell them along with the coup recently so Brent put it up on Craigslist for $100 and got tons of bidders! They were literally fighting to get here first with a trailer to buy it. He got e-mails saying they fell in love with the design asking where he bought it from. And that was just something he put together with scrap constuction wood and for 'fun' one day. His latest and longest (since he got in the accident during this project) has been the firplace out back. He just finished cutting the flagstone the other day and it is looking great, considering it was a concrete nothing in the back yard not too long ago. Here are the pictures from that. Oh and did I mention he does a wonerful job cleaning it all up after working on it. He's also been great at fixing everything around the house. My favorite repair job was when he fixed my CHI iron. That thing was not cheap and not working, but brent got in there cut it up, saudered wires back together and it works better than ever, seriously. I am a lucky wife!! You're wonderful HONEY! I LOVE YOU!
