A Man with a Mission.

A few months ago, Drone picked up a small tortilla press at a little store in Ava.  After a little dickering, he got the price down to $10.  He was happy with that.  He found a recipe for home-made tortillas and proceeded to pick up some unbleached flour and make some tortillas with his new press.  It worked pretty good.  The only thing wrong with the tortillas was that they were too small.  He wanted Burrito-sized tortillas instead of soft taco sized.  He looked at all kinds of the larger tortilla presses online and finally decided he could and would build his own.  He talked about getting some slab lumber from the mill and having it planed.  Then he came up with a better idea.  We went to the store and bought a set of 3 wooden cutting boards and some hinges.  When we got home, he went out to the house and came in a while later with a nice wooden tortilla press.  He's used it a few times already, and it works pretty good.  

To the left is the press that he made, and to the right is the press that he bought.  Both work, but the one on the left sure lets him make bigger tortillas.  Mission accomplished.  

Our counter tops are ordered.  Now just waiting for them to be shipped to the store, so we can go pick them up.  The color/design is called Colorado slate and should go real well with the floor tile we picked out.  In the meantime, he's been hooking up light fixtures and plug-ins, and other little stuff while waiting for more big stuff.   It's all important.  Every little thing goes into making it all a home.
