Now that my office/craft room is finished and more importantly, now that the playroom is finished so the toys are out of my craft room area – I have space to unpack my stitching and a huge beautiful craft table to quilt on! I wasted no time in picking up some projects and the timing …
It was a long weekend filled with some rough work – poor Ryan even needed stitches in his wrist after cutting himself on the concrete. Saturday Ryan finished up the jack hammering – which involved cutting his wrist, taking a break to drive to urgent care, coming home instead of waiting 3 hours – going …
We’ve kept up the momentum on getting the playroom really truly finished. Before the party we were able to get the painting fully done! Since the party we’ve kept up the work – I finished up most of the electrical in the playroom (waiting on switches before I can install the fan but outlets and …
The birthday party is approaching and we’re trying to get the painting in the playroom finished up so that we don’t have to empty the room again after the party! We spent all day Sunday working on the playroom – sanding trim (primer coat) priming doors, painting the ceiling and all the caulking. I got …
It’s been a quiet few months here … haha yea right! It’s been quiet on the house progress front only. We’ve had 2 birthdays (one party) for Alex and Evie. We bought a new piece of property (32 acres!) a short drive away and Ryan got a sawmill. The sawmill is related to the property …

Both the office trim project (just installing – still have to paint) and the retaining walls project are done. Lots of good progress pics to show! The office trim finished up installation on Sunday with the doorway caps and crown going up. The chair rail finished up Saturday. The trim looks amazing and now “just” …
The wood shed project was a kind of last minute decision – although it’s been talked about in theory for a couple years. It’s almost done – although we are waiting on the roof materials and there’s a bit more of the siding or soffit to do. Wood is going in, there’s some organization to …
Ryan took his annual work on the house stay-cation. I couldn’t coordinate taking it with him fully because Evie has been home up until 2 weeks ago and with her just starting daycare I was finally able to start working more fully (more focused) just a week ago. I did take 2 days off (and …
The retaining wall project has been moving along quite fast! Mark has been spending lots of weekday time working on the walls and Ryan helped on Sunday as well. The wall looks so great- I love the pattern! I think we’ve decided to wait on the door install till spring so we can order the …
