Kjirsti & Tom

I don’t always understand the logic of their holes- do you? So we have finally had the stereotypical contractor situation. This week, off of a bit of a whim, Tom and I decided to go with a certain electrician who was recommended to us. We wanted him to update all of our electricity. Because I…

I must say I have sorely missed not having my blog up and running this past week. I guess it is like the Chinese proverb quoted in “Under the Tuscan Sun” that says, “One who writes, lives life twice.” I certainly find that when I take the time to write a review of my day…

Friday I finished up scrubbing the walls in the dining room. I spent the rest of the day driving down to Kent and spending the afternoon and Evening with Erin Durham, Barb Huff, and Erin’s mom Gretchen. Erin was participating in the Kent/Blossom music festival all summer and Tom and I had really wanted to…

We have Internet and it’s fast! I have posted an obscenely long entry about the past weeks projects with lots of pictures. Enjoy!

We will be moving over the next few days and as a result the blog will be done, perhaps for a week or so as we arrange for Internet and the like.

Mary Price joined me on the renovation crew today. It was great to have someone to chat with, as well as an extra set of hands to pull of wallpaper, scrape paint, and pull weeds. Here are some pictures of our destructive deeds: One of Mary’s first requests was that she be able to strip…

(Notice the large piles of weeds in the foreground in the “after” pictures). We are waiting until we have water…

We used this theme a few months ago on our regular blog and I just had to bring it back for our home blog. I love the sentiments it represents. Tom suggested yesterday that we refer to our new house as our “playhouse” as that would make all the renovations and projects seem more fun.…

Tom and I have started a blog that will contain only reports on the house. We have included a link on the top of the sidebar where you can easily access it.
