Kristen: My Mom said we need to make a registry. Pete: I really don't want to. K: What's the one thing you want but probably wouldn't buy yourself -- P: A HOT TUB FOR THE CABIN! So there you have it.

We've put time, blood, and sweat into restoring our late 1800s row house in Jersey City, but we've finally hit the point where we need to call in the professionals. The brick facade needs to be re-pointed and the laundry room needs some serious mason manpower. Any contribution will help us continue to make this house a home.

As I am sure you all know Kristen lovers her garden and Peter loves to eat whatever comes out of the garden (except for cucumbers...). One of Kristen's greatest relaxation comes from taking care of her Hollow Road produce patch but the long distance from Jersey City can make regular irrigation near impossible. With this gift you can help keep Kristen and her plants happy and keep Pete's stomach full!

Kristen said "we can put anything we want on the registry". I immediately thought about a toaster.....wait no i didn't! So I know what your thinking, and you are right, this is more of a need than a want. Shame they cost so much but you can be responsible for the preservation of my back well into the future. So please contribute if you'd like. And if you are asking how this will benefit Kristen just remember that we work on her motorcycles too.

We all know the saying. "The key to a happy marriage is a good quality air compressor". Who are we to try to challenge traditional proverbs?! Sure the company is still known as "craftsman" when we are all wishing they would get with the times and change their man to "Crafts-person". But the benefits of this machine to our marriage will be great. Think of all the crafting, air compressing, and...well more crafting. Can't understand why these don't show up on more registries.

The world over is sadly plagued by arguments between spouses over the difficulty of removing surface rust and old paint from various objects. Kristen and Peter really love each other and we never want to see them put in such a difficult position. Lets join together to allow them an easy way to handle these situations so more of their time could be spent enjoying sunsets rather then sulking over any potential hard times.
