Until now, info on my attic has been restricted to one photo on the Entry Hall page. This weekend I took more comprehensive photos of the attic and gave this room it’s own page. That’s only fair, since the attic is the same size as the whole rest of the house. Yeah, this is what [...]

The vacation was a nice break from thinking about the house, but we need to get our groove back. I’m afraid that our lazy week will translate into a lazy weekend. So I’m declaring right here on this blog what we’re going to get accomplished this weekend. That way, I’ll be so fearful of the [...]
