It’s no secret that Bryce and I love Mexican food. Especially some of that delicious chicken from Akumal last year. So, given the opportunity to make tacos, I’ll say yes every time. After being inspired by the simplicity of these tacos on The Chef Show I decided to share my version of the recipe. Okay, let’s get…

Project: New Shed
New shed – this was a September 2019 project. The kind of project that spins off another. Remember the retaining wall we did? Well, we wanted a shed, too. Mainly to get all the lawn maintenance stuff out of the shop since we’re working on Bolers in there. So, let’s check out this 96 square foot, 12×8 shed!

After a dinner out and over tacos we decided on an Afghan Hound. Now, where…
