Outside of our love of riding and the free exercise thereof, what other talents/hobbies do you have?
I like to do metal work, wood work, and I've learned how to do flooring projects. I've done a little remodeling in our home and replaced all the floors with carpet in the bedrooms (I hate cold floors in the morning), porcelain, ceramic tiles, engineered hardwood planks, and Italian pavers. The pavers were the last bit of flooring that remained to be done after replacing the double swing front doors. It's in a small foyer (thank goodness for it being small).

I moved the doorway that goes into the small office to the right and have to make and stain the trim yet. What made this so difficult was that on every side the pavers had to be cut. When I first started the remodeling, I bought a fairly expensive tile saw from MK Diamond. With the square footage of tile I had to place, I knew that buying the saw would be less expensive than hiring the labor from a contractor. Now that I'm done, I plan on selling the saw for about 1/2 of what I bought it; that makes it a bargain for me and for a flooring contractor.
