The front door is here and in the garage. Should be installed in the near future - weather needs to cooperate to make this happen. All is well. We still haven't forgotten the "reveal" - but, heck, we've been so busy! It's still on our radar and we'll have something before the end of 2011! …

I’m progressive but don’t support all “progressives”. If you consider yourself a Republican and/or is a member of the GOP - fuck you and go to hell. I’m an application developer. I enjoy plucking the strings of a classical guitar, strumming a tenor ukulele, and reading a good book. I have a special interest in nutrition. Pro tip: it’s the refined carbs and seed oils, stupid.
If you support Trump - go fuck yourself.
The Dust Bowl Endeth
We experienced our own dust bowl this year. With the back yard used for a construction staging and work area, the inevitable dust bowl came into being. Keeping the house and dogs clean became impossible. So, we were thrilled when we could finally re-sod the back yard and say goodbye to dirt.The first thing we …
What light through yonder window breaks…could it be the light at the end of the tunnel?

And that's about it folks. We won't have our new front door until probably the end of November or thereabout.Can the …
Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor…

Well, friends remember that one little item we spoke about …

Doorknobs Are Here!
The image got a little skewed but you can still see the beauty!It's been an exciting day as our doorknobs arrived and installation began. We've chosen glass for rooms and porcelain for closets. It's amazing how a doorknob can change the ambience of a room.The master bath is not yet ready for a reveal. We …
Moving Right Along…
The porch floor is completely installed. Painting to begin end of week. Waiting on hardware (aka doorknobs!) for doors. Should be here at "end of week".It could be a difficult weekend. Once the porch floor is painted we should leave it be for a week. The dogs and, particularly, their nails, shouldn't touch it. We'll …
