The sales tax system here ...Beautiful woodworking.<br /><br />The sales tax system here in north Alabama has me completely confused. We pay over 9% for food, clothes, household goods, etc. But we paid 2.25% for the tractor and attachments. The car 3%. Liquor 4%. And feed for farm animals (our ducks) 0%. <br /><br />So to drink milk we pay over 9%, but booze just 4%.<br />Buy food for us, over 9%, feed the ducks 0%.<br /><br />Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184706027679979998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-11940471942158907252020-03-31T18:36:32.447-07:002020-03-31T18:36:32.447-07:00Glad you have the projects to keep yourself busy w...Glad you have the projects to keep yourself busy while riding this out in Self Isolation.<br />Be Safe and Enjoy your projects.<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-2410704002165684152020-03-31T17:00:33.225-07:002020-03-31T17:00:33.225-07:00Your wood work is outstanding!Your wood work is outstanding!Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-4844495276873089042020-03-31T16:32:56.698-07:002020-03-31T16:32:56.698-07:00Damn I would like to do wood work, but I don't...Damn I would like to do wood work, but I don't have the skill or patience. Years ago I was pretty good at refinishing old furniture. I stripped out the old dirty finish and buffed and finished, buffed and finished several times. The result was I turned some really bad looking antiques into beautiful pieces...apparently I also buffed out a good bit of value as I later found out it is a bad idea to remove the finish of antiques. Oh well, I was never going to sell them anyway.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589339935152891167.post-78175836804682687082020-03-31T15:03:17.454-07:002020-03-31T15:03:17.454-07:00I am impressed about your towel rack.

Good job, man!<br />As to the beer, wine and liquor we can buy at NB Liquor which here on the forsaken part of Canada is an integral part of our local grocery store. However, it's not looking all good as the owner has upcoming plans to close shop. Needless to say we'd be "dry and high" when that happens. <br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197108331214049357noreply@blogger.com
