They’d probably just say WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and they would eat and poop and sleep. They’re only a couple days old now, and I think they look so good in drywall-paper grey and mud white. It’s amazing what a little bit ton of drywall will do to make the rooms feel like rooms and the walls less […]
Reader, I am so tired. I don’t really know why I am blogging instead of passing out on the couch awaiting stern looks and reminders of chores unfinished. But we had a huge day. In a life without kids, my day probably would have read like this: I went out and took some pictures, went […]
As the owner of a 1999 Porsche Boxster, I was horrified this weekend to be the first of 4 owners to realize that this car has a cabin air filter. Once I determined that the part was replaceable and not an alien lifeform taking hold in a hidden corner of my car, a replacement was […]
Charlie is very very happy that the sun is out! He took his toolbox to the new house to get to work, while mommy and the builder walked through to check out all the in-wall and in-ceiling work before the drywall goes up. We’ve got blocking in the music room for my guitars, feature lighting […]
Photos!!! It’s a really lovely porter potty. The yellow reminds me of the color that hickory leaves turn right before Thanksgiving. It’s just a little off level, but that just makes it exciting. This picture is actually about a week old. A lot has happened since I took this picture. For example, I went to […]
There’s our pretty pretty house. Isn’t it pretty? Now on to the aforementioned scotch-powered wit: I meant to post much more often than this, but I have some very good excuses. In no particular order of importance or gravity, but numbers are aesthetically pleasing: 1) Work is hard and it takes up my time. 2) […]
I apologize dear readers for my half decade of silence. I know that for the time period between when I finished* my kitchen and today, this blog was missing in your life. You may have felt empty. You may have felt sad. You may have felt that a big part of your existence, you being, […]
Finished(ish)! Well it’s been a long time since I’ve updated the blog. Coincidentally, the project itself has been a long time coming. We just got our cabinets in a little over a week ago. I left, went to Africa, came back, ordered the countertop, and waited. For days. Then weeks. Then a month. It took about 45 days for […]
Like you didn’t see that coming. The cabinets are installed! Oh what a difference a day makes. The installers did a good job too! I only had to fix two drawers… so far. First, they installed the silverware tray backwards and they decided to omit the screws for the track in the towkick drawer. But […]
Sometimes life surprises you by distilling your life into one short sentence. Today, I drove home to find this sign in my yard. I might as well keep it there until we move out.
