I often wonder where reinventing your life came from but I do get that sometimes, maybe often, we have to walk away from a past, past concepts and look to a future we might not be able to wholly predict. There is a singular anchor in my life that still holds firm after almost 60 …

Finally we have resolution to the foreclosure scare in the last video. I also show you how I dismantle the walls I installed in front of my garage doors and give you some quick tips for packing up various items in the shop.
Here are some things I showcased in the video:
The material life I purchased is the Sumner 2010 and the vendor I purchased from no longer has them listed on their site. So shop around if you’re interested.
