Home Improvement Week(end)
So Nate went out of town last Tuesday and I’ve spent at least some time every day/evening since then working on this dining room project. On Wednesday I emptied the china hutch and my dad came over to help me … Continue reading

Nesting
Sort of. We decided to move the guest room furniture to one of the upstairs spare bedrooms so we can put the nursery in the downstairs spare bedroom (master bedroom is downstairs too). Funny how now that those midnight wakeup … Continue reading

Foliage
So I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, but I’m sort of a freak about my yard. It would not be at all strange to find me spending the first 5 minutes after I get home crouched next to the … Continue reading
Avoidance
I think I’ve made it pretty clear that recently I’ve been avoiding painting. Like the plague. Last weekend it finally caught up with me. Nate found a coupon for some organization company in one of the weekly ad papers and … Continue reading
Can I Still Call it the New House?
We recently got the paperwork for our one year walkthrough punch list what’s broken whatever maintenance thing from our homebuilder. I freaking can’t believe we’ve lived here for almost a year! When we moved in I was all excited because … Continue reading

Handy People RULE!
I’m finally about to get the screened in deck I’ve always wanted! Nate’s uncle is a carpenter and so with his help (and some help from our other ridiculously handy friend, Ted) we’re going to screen in the deck. My … Continue reading

Biting off More Than I Can Chew – AKA – Yard Work
SO! I’ve kind of developed Lawn ADD. Where I now have so many things I want to do and so many things I’ve started that I don’t actually know what to do next any more. I’ve torn up the front … Continue reading
New Patio Finished
On Saturday we had someone come by to give us a quote for pouring a stamped concrete patio. He said he should be able to get started probably on Wednesday, we said that was great and I planned to work … Continue reading

Laundry Room
So this is the finished laundry room. I hate posting the “after” picture without the “before” but in this case I can’t find a before! I didn’t take one before I started because I was sure that I had taken … Continue reading

I Forgot Yard Work was So Much Work!
Since September is almost on us we’re trying to get it in gear to work on our yard. While the original plan for the yard was to keep it alive until fall and then over-seed, I just haven’t been able … Continue reading
It’s that Time Again
Nate started school again this week. That means that I’m not stuck trying to entertain myself for 3 evenings a week while he’s in class. Since he didn’t take summer school I’m way out of practice! I think I may … Continue reading
Sneaky Holiday
Speakers Originally uploaded by Geeky-Girl So I just realized a few days ago that the Fourth of July is this Friday. I mean I knew I was running out of June but somehow it took me a while to make … Continue reading
New House != No Projects
Just when I thought it was safe to relax, here’s how I spent Saturday (and a little bit of Sunday) along with Nate and my dad): Old House Patching holes left after removing nerf basketball Fixing leaking kitchen sink Fixing full bath sink … Continue reading
Finally!
The most amazing thing happened over the weekend. For the first time ever (in my experience) a project actually took the amount of time we thought it would! This house only had two cable outlets in it when we moved … Continue reading
