Being homeless in Canada in the winter is a serious issue and over the past year, the issue has escalated a lot. I help build apartment buildings I could never afford to live in. Our city councilors have been warning that unless...

We adopted a pair of kittens from my younger brother's family. Their genders were a little ambiguous and we were told one was male and the other was female. We named them Duke and Duchess. Turns out they're both female so Duke's...

My Dad's formal education ended just before he finished the eighth grade because that day Nazi German troops poured across the Dutch border. Six days later the Netherlands surrendered and he and my Mom were now teenagers growing...

This hasn't happened to me in a long time but I laughed and laughed.
My wife and I evidently were at some shopping mall somewhere. I hate shopping by the way. We got a little separated and I watch her disappear around a corner....

Cutting wood for winter and doing clean up on the mess Hurricane Fiona made this fall. I've got permissions for cutting on a bunch of properties in and around our hunt camp home. I only actually lost four trees on my own piece of...

We got issued these not so wonderful washable face masks at work. We're supposed to wash them out every evening. My wife who occasionally writes on myLot made me two other much nicer ones. They're more comfortable because she used...

I have no idea what we'll be making but I'm sure it will be important. They only called some of the employees up for this so I really don't know what to expect when I get there.
We normally build kitchen cabinets with some other...

We thought we would try our hand at tapping trees this spring. I started out by turning a couple of spiles (wooden tubes for sap to run through) on the wood lathe. I'll include a video of that at the end of this post. We tapped a...

With not being allowed to go to work I do have time for stuff I don't otherwise get a chance to do. My youngest son and I took a video walk through the bush down by the river (the photo is just a local winter scene) where there...

Hurricane Dorian is poised to make landfall in Nova Scotia and it is raining hard outside and the wind is whipping things about. Coming back from church today we counted two trees down. Nothing serious though. We've already had...

My son Wesley and I went for a walk with the video camera this morning through our "downtown". This was kind of inspired by someone who posted a discussion centered around a small cemetery. We visited the local cemetery and were...

I completed a special order gavel set during the week. The friend who ordered it received it today and was absolutely delighted. A mutual friend was with her at the time and now I have another order for another gavel set. I hadn't...

Seems the ground frost is running deeper this year than in the past. Got under our camp and froze the water line coming in. That's a minor disaster for us.
This line would freeze when we first got it running but after insulating...

Been really busy working, harvesting firewood and trying to build my woodworking business.
On my Youtube channel MFCP Woodworking, I decided to run a hair stick giveaway and it hasn't garnered a whole lot of attention. I'm going...

Started my day off fixing my chainsaw so that I could deal with the problem in the photo. This one wasn't interfering with the power lines so I could happily take care of it myself. It wasn't actually blocking the road yet. Most...

Windstorm Saturday night took this Jackpine and hung it up in the power lines. This caused a short circuit which blew the breaker on the end of our road. No electricity, no phone, and no Internet until someone could come and fix...
