I’d like to personally welcome you to my corner of the world. I’m delighted you are here.
This blog is for entertainment purposes. I created it for your enjoyment.
It contains a mix of lifestyle articles from DIY, home improvement projects, personal finance and everyday rambles from Dave Gates.
Here is where I’m coming from. When I tell someone I blog, the next question is often times; What do you blog about? or How do you do that? or What theme are you using and so on. I found it convenient to provide all this information, here so all those who ask me these questions have a reference they can refer too. How convenient right?
My current interest at the start of 2021 is to catch up on all those books I’ve been neglecting. I’ve also purchased a few more books to add to my collection. What I’m Reading is the place to start if you’re interested in learning more.
The Treehouse I spent the last few years building is done and ready for our enjoyment.
I started davegates.net over 20 years ago. The web was a much different place back then. I remember how proud I was for teaching myself Microsoft FrontPage. Does anyone remember that program?
Today, I use davegates.net to journal what I’ve learned and to remind myself how I did things. My memory sucks and writing about what I’ve done is a great way to refresh my memory.
For now, all the articles posted are actual projects I’ve done or worked with. You can learn a lot from others who have, “been there, and done that.”
My professional career started as a computer technician. I’ve also had my share of working customer service in the retail environment.
I’m your average guy who spends a lot of time on his computer. At the moment I divide this time between being a dad, author, husband, brother, friend, blogger, and entrepreneur.
Follow me on twitter, pin me on Pinterest, or watch me on Instagram.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Dave Gates
