If you picked the trees, you’re right.  Towels are second.

It’s after 9 p.m., it’s been a long day for both of us, and I’m waiting for a load of laundry to finish.  Not having any good material to post, I leave you with this picture of the top of the stairs.  Vote for the weirdest thing in this picture. P.S. I typed this all [...]

Taming the wind

It’s really windy right there.

It was a very strange day, what with not talking and all.  Samith came over to borrow our truck, and I think I said five sentences.  Strange. Anyway, it was a fairly productive day.  I worked on my accreditation stuff for school, did a little housework, and taped off the downstairs guestroom.  You heard me [...]

In honor of Labor Day weekend, and since I have no good photo from today, and since this is probably a weekend where no one will check the internet anyway, I’m just going to make a list of stuff we have to do, and we’ll see how updated it gets. Maybe I’ll include photos of [...]

Is it the rapture?

Hooray!!  I have successfully rid our house of all the evil wallpaper.   I believe the attack on the entryway ivy began back in May – again, in painfully small steps – but now it’s done.  I was telling Lloyd on the phone that I’d like to do some work on the downstairs bathroom while he [...]

Cheap re-do

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve actually been whittling away at the kitchen. Every so often I’d scrape a little more paper, and then decided to use up paint from the basement stash. We have so many leftover cans of paint you wouldn’t believe it. There are several cans from the previous owners, and [...]

It looks much worse in real life.

Here’s the latest on the super-slow house project.  I manage to rip off about two square feet of wall paper a week.  What was I thinking?  Lloyd asked, “So what’s your plan?”  Plan?  I have no plan.  I’m ripping wallpaper and a plan will come in June, when I’m done. I’m not ripping paper tonight, [...]
