Another back-dated post to cover a large project we did in the fall. In September we started the new back deck project. This involved removing the old deck, digging post holes for concrete supports, clearing out all the old gardens and somewhat leveling the back yard by the house. The project continued with a beautiful …
The dock was the main focus of our April 2021 Vacation week off so it’s been done for a while but I never finished updating so this post is backdated. The finished pictures are actually from much later but that’s just because I didn’t get pictures of it finished as we started using it immediately …
We made some general progress on things like painting the kitchen and installing trim in the hallway so I’ll post some updated pics of that work. We got the second coat on the center of the ceiling trim strictly so we could install the chandelier finally! In August Ryan started working on installing trim in …
It’s been a while since I updated so I’ll make a few individual posts to catch up. I had to look back quite far to find where we had left off with the front porch. We had added it back before we had the metal roof put on. Once we had that on we basically …

2020 was quite a year but staying home and having no activities meant we had lots of time to focus on the garden. The garden it turned out after building it was really easy as gardens are the first year. Not a lot of weeding because the beds were new (I am in for a …
In September the girls went back to school with extra Covid precautions. Work was busy for both Ryan and I and we were both working from home plus picking up the girls at 2pm so they didn’t have any bus exposure or extra daycare. This meant we were exhausted mostly. Ryan managed a few interesting …
The veggie garden has exceeded my expectations this year. The girls love it, I love it and it takes almost no work after the initial build which was a lot of work mostly on Ryan 🙂 I’ll let the pictures tell some stories… The peas never make it inside – the girls just eat whatever …
It’s been almost a month and we’ve been busy with trim in the diningroom and kitchen and Garden projects (I’ll post a different update there). At the end of June I got the kitchen island painted with the paint we had bought when we got the cabinets — so it matches very nicely. Next up …
