Male nesting?

I understand that before a baby is due, it is common for the mother-to-be to begin nesting. The Mrs. hasn’t taken this up yet. However, I have begun building things. I guess the pending addition has brought out the builder in me. I’ve taken up carpentry of all things.

I’ve never had any training and the only power tools I have are a power drill, circular saw and a Dremel. The only other thing I’d ever built before was basically a board with some cross supports that had clothespins attached. It was so I could hang the spices that I grow on it to dry. In the last couple of weeks, I built a growth chart for the baby and a workbench with an 8 feet by 3 feet table surface that could survive a nuclear blast.

Now, I am planning on building a dog house. I’m not building it because I think my dogs will really use it, after all they hang out in the air conditioned house on their my leather couch. I’m building it as practice to some day build a play house for our daughter.

Any way, here’s a website with some dog houses people made. Pay special attention to the one that has a patio and an air conditioner. I’m not going that far with it but the lengths some folks go to for their pets is amazing.

I guess it is the male form of nesting.

    I might have to recruit you to come work on some projects around my house. Heh… I have a bunch more power tools, but lack the Dremel. You missed all the fun tear-out projects though. Now it’s in the boring, tedious, putting-it-all-back-together phase.

    In the Dog House
    Say Uncle is building a dog house. He’s impressed by the fancy dog houses he’s seen, including one with a patio and an air conditioner. He should come to New York, and meet Brutus, an English mastiff with his own one-bedroom apartment, complete with do…

    […] #8217;s a pic of the new AR (complete with a bonus pic of the Uncle workbench that I built back when I was nesting): It’s a 16 inch CAR style with a telescopic stock. […]

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
