		<description><![CDATA[The Home Depot sells 4&#8243;x4&#8243; x 9&#8242; long fence posts for about $25 each.

		<description><![CDATA[I inherited a food rack from the barn on a previous property several years ago and have always wanted to turn it into an Appalachian-style food dehydrator. I still plan on making the conversion this summer, but spring use as a portable greenhouse or cold-frame is another option for these restaurant food racks&#8230; The trays [...]]]></description>

As I roll a piece of gum around in my mouth and mold it into a ball I am reminded of spinning a glass marble in a graphite mold. Making something tangible, [...]]]></description>

It was an enjoyable read, but I think the book would have been better suited for bite-sized sessions. I would have liked reading a little each day with [...]]]></description>

I have been looking for a visually creative outlet that produced something tangible. Things like welding, whittling, rustic furniture… were along the lines (i.e. a &#8220;craft&#8221;) of what I was looking for, but I never felt like they [...]]]></description>
