I have received a number of interesting
birthday and anniversary gifts from my husband, over the years. One year, I got a laser level, which the
husband uses to shoot elevations for his jobs.
Another year, I got a miter saw, which the husband uses to cut boards
when he installs synthetic turf. And yet
another year, I got a high powered pressure washer which had so much power I
actually gouged the wood on my porch pillars, so now the husband uses it to
clean customers drives and patios. I
have been strongly hinting for a blow torch, but to no avail, either because
the husband has no use for one, or he is afraid I will actually use it. And I would.
I have this great desire to create yard
art from scrap metal and some of the ideas will defiantly require a blow torch
and a welding gun. So if my husband is
reading this, I need both! The idea
started when we were driving in the mountains and came upon a house with large
and incredible structures made of scrap metal.
One piece was an abstract flower, another was a very large cactus and
yet another was some four legged beast which I won’t bother describing because
I would not do it justice. But it was
the totem pole made from an oil drum that sparked my desire.
I have been envisioning some of these
fantastic pieces dominating my garden, which may be another reason I have not
received my blow torch.
I have a birthday coming up in a few
months and an anniversary a couple months after that. If I have not received my blow torch for
either of these, there is always my husband’s birthday. Why hadn’t I thought of that sooner?
