House News

this is our first fixer-upper as married folks. We'll see if we're still married once it's finished. I'm a bit of a city girl and my husband is quite comfortable wielding a cordless skill saw. Wish us luck (we're definately going to need it...)!

Winter Weather

Thanksgiving was awesome...and a reprieve after we worked from 6 am to Midnight for days on end. Here are some of the best pictures to see what we've been up to. More than just the hallway will be posted shortly...

















The last picture here is what happened when nate exploded the not-so-tempered glass on our fireplace. Don't worry...it only burned holes in our ex-carpet:)

10 Busy days

I have a long story that ends in a case of "bad things happening in 3s"
1. Our basement started to get a little wet in the Great NW Flood from the last 10 days.
2. We don't have gutters up, so in our attempt to purchase and hang them, I ended up with stitches in my hand.
3. A tree fell on our house.

I don't have pictures of the stitches, but here's what you can see:

And if you're curious at all about what we've been doing inside...
