It’s Friday already? I guess that happens when you get a long weekend. And when Ben has been home from work. And when you’ve got lots of work going on around you. Ben has started tearing off the cedar shakes to re-roof. We’ve got workers here installing our new geothermal system, too. Vincent is very [...]

You’re so Vain, Vanity
Our main bathroom is taking shape. Yesterday you saw Saturday’s progress, but on Sunday, more bathroom magic happened. Ben started working on the vanity. After finding a remnant piece of quartz for sixty bucks, we nailed down the width of 43 inches. With the linen closet ready to rock, we could start the vanity. Right [...]

My Baby’s Place and Giveaway
We’ve talked about My Colortopia before, here and here. My Colortopia has a new tool to help expecting parents choose the perfect nursery color scheme. I haven’t had to plan a nursery for a few years and I’ve only had boys to plan for, but it is fun to think about. Especially for girls. Answer [...]

Bring it on, Bathroom!
Over the long weekend, Ben decided he was going to get serious work done on the house. Perhaps start tearing off solar panels and cedar shakes to get ready for roofing? Mother Nature had a different idea. On Saturday morning we woke up to a few inches of sloshy, wet snow. Never in my life [...]

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all who have protected and served our country. We’re busy working on a few projects, but I wanted to pop in with a quick post today. Let’s answer your questions! Q: How did Ben and I meet? A: Through a mutual cousin. Yes, I said mutual cousin, not friend. But [...]

Back Yard Beginnings
After sharing our wireless fence choice yesterday, I realized you haven’t seen much of our back yard. We don’t call this place the mountain house for no reason. Our lot is super steep, backing up to a rock cliff proudly standing a few hundred feet above the street. Even the front yard is steep. Visitors [...]

Wireless is the Way We Roll
At our first house, Ben built a fence to keep Jack from running off. She much prefers to stay outside, away from the boys’ noise. The mountain house doesn’t have a fence, nor would it be easy to build one. But we needed a way to contain Jack, while still giving her freedom to roam [...]

Demo-licious
Nice weather means Ben doesn’t want to stay in the house working on the bathroom. What does the man do instead? Tear stuff apart, of course. Just after closing on the mountain house, Ben took his aggression out on the pool and bathroom. This time, the hot tub bothered him, so it had to go. Can someone [...]
