This weekend the weather was gorgeous and Ryan really took advantage. It was a little on the cool side at night but Saturday he got the first coat of paint on the diningroom window panels. While he painted I mowed the lawn, did the first round of leaf cleanup and then visited with Mom and …
Due to the continuation of great weather I took a half day today off of work to continue the window panels. Around lunch time I did the final sanding of the diningroom panels and then primed them. Once those were done, it was time to paint the cupola panels yellow (first coat)! Just as it …
Wow, October and it was in the 80’s! Perfect for finishing up window panels! So Ryan and I worked hard this weekend! Friday night Ryan got home and started right away working on the built-ins! He got the box for one of the bookcases put together so we could see what they’d look like installed …
Originally planned as a get-a-way stitch weekend with my friend Sarah, we both got busy and never got around to booking anything. Turned out just fine however, we spent Saturday together, mostly stitching and got to meet up with some of our other stitching friends for a few hours as well. Stitching progress on Celtic …
Work on the house continued today intermittently after I got the house cleaned and we did a dump run. Ryan took off the section of aluminum and cedar siding that we needed off to finish the diningroom panels. Then we put up tar paper on that section. Finally we continued on the window panels, finishing …

It was a little hotter outside today and it was the last day of our vacation so we took it a little easy. After a quick trip to home depot and some breakfast/lunch at Denny’s we decided to start on the copper. First we cut the large piece we bought in half so it could …
Well this weekend is the end of our vacation – which is sad because it really went too quickly as usual. We had a great day though, we started out with some errands (last trip to the dump for a while hopefully) and then to the lumber yard to buy more decking now that we …
Whew… for some reason today feels worse than yesterday humidity wise, maybe because we never really got enough rain yesterday to break it. With a quick trip to home depot to start the day we got to work around 11 removing the window and getting the new one installed. The original window was a little …
We finally have a full weekend to work on the house and we got right to work today. We installed the last 2 windows in the cupola in the livingroom. They were a little more work than the first three, the header had to be replaced on these so the windows would fit. We decided …
