We had snow in the mountains about 100 miles from us on Sat. and really cool here Sat, it is supposed to be in the triple digits here this week. But then I live in West Texas, we never know what the temp. will be, except in the summer. We usually have at least 115 and hotter some of the days during the summer. This has really been a cool spring for us.

115!!!! No thank you!! ;)

And I thought it gets hot where I live. I live on the Highland Lakes in Central Texas. We are having 50-60 in the morning and 80 in the afternoon. However, I am enjoying it becuase I know what June, July and August will be like. We break 100 many days in the summer. At least it is not as dry as it has been the last few years. Hot, dry and humid is not to pleasant.

Yeah but Texas,,,Dont we love it????????????????????? jolo

I second the motion. Please. Would some willing soul do a tutorial for us on how to square a block? I haven't searched to see if we have one already. Oops, I will look.

Yes, Texas I love it, born and raised in this great state. Lived in three other states for a while when I was younger, but so glad when we moved back home. I have lived in this town since 1970, when DH and I married, because of our jobs here. Both of our children were born in this town and we made our home here. Yes it gets pretty hot during the summer, but I love this state. I don't think I could ever live on the coast, too humid. I was raised in this area, the desert area of Tx.

Penny, as long as the ruler is larger than the square you need, you can use it. Here is a tip that may help you visually. Let's say your HST needs to be 3.5" unfinished. You can use a piece of blue painter's tape and line it on the 3.5" line on your square in both directions. Then if you line the diagonal line on the ruler with the line that splits the HST, you can focus on the marked area and trim accordingly.
