Thanks to my father – Robert Dreyer for coaching me to read while laying on the living room floor of out base housing in Travis AFB, CA over 45 years ago, I LOVE TO READ! AND now I’m sharing the books that have positively influenced my life over the last 45 years. (Sorry, no comics.)

Just a look over some of the yard in early summer 2005 including a mini arbor I built on the deck originally to hold a small solar heater panel for the pool. I later doubled it’s size (not in this video). Also a look at a planter I built from landscape timbers which were on a “great sale”. Aongoing chronology of work I’ve done myself around the house. Learned a lot online from others so maybe others like me will be interested in seeing how it all went for me. It started about the year 2000 and continues to this day. If it’s available, watch in high quality. These were old analog tapes recoded to digital.
