Is it sad that I’ve had this post (and subsequent play on a Rihanna hit for the blog post title) planned since October? Or equally sad that these are the things I remember but can never remember to pay the cell phone bill? Anyway…so now that Rihanna is officially stuck in your head too, let’s get down to deck business and more importantly um-ber-ella ella ella eh eh eh business. [...]

2 Comments Hold on to your britches folks, this post is gonna be a doozy! That is if you define doozy by using 34 pictures to illustrate how to shingle a roof. As I mentioned in yesterday’s “Roofing Tools Of The Trade” post, we finally finished shingling our porch roof. And, of the three roofs going on with our house, this one is was in the worst condition. No joke, it was so [...]

It’s official…we can stick a fork it in. Our roofing project is done-zo! Instead of “Roofing With The Campbells”, I should have named the series of this post “Roofing With Mr. Campbell, Angie’s Brother, And His Friend Adam While Angie Snapped Pics From The Driveway.” But that was just too long of a title. I’m not gonna lie. I helped for about two hours on this project and by helped [...]

As promised yesterday when I introduced our little “Roofing With The Campbells” series where we’ll be chronicling the task of re-shingling our home, today is the big “How To Calculate Shingle Quantity” post. And of course what would an epic bloggy series be without an equally epic logo?! That’s what I thought! Before we could even begin to shingle our roof, we needed to figure out how many shingles we [...]

Colby and I have some big plans coming up in the oh so near future, as in this weekend. I pretty much gave away the milk for free with the blog post title, so I’m just going to spray it spit it out. We’re about to shingle our own house. AND I’m going to blog the heck out of it in a little series I like to call “Roofing With [...]

It’s official, we’ve gone off the deep end, diving head first into crazy town. We’ve adopted a llama. It’s not what you think, I swear, it’s just the pet name (haha…bad pun police…bad pun police) we have for these chimney fire pits. And ever since we brought the llama home I can’t stop singing the llama song. Word of caution…it’s addicting. Do not…I repeat…do not watch this right before bedtime. [...]

Today, we said goodbye to a dear, dear friend. Someone who has loved us, and cradled us, and given us great peace in life. It’s been a solid 8 years of love, use and sometimes abuse, and we will sadly miss you. Rest in peace hammock. I loved that hammock like I love my unborn children. It was such a friend to us all in the summer months. Last summer, [...]

1 Comment My type A personality is apparently taking a much needed vacation. I had big plans for doing a “bedroom week” here on the blog to cover all the projects we’ve managed to tackle during our master bedroom renovation. But today, we took a little trip to the flea market in Searsport, Maine (my favorite flea market in the whole wide world) and I couldn’t wait to share with you what [...]

Holy crazy town Batman! We were BUSY this weekend and I have so much to update you on. Between a Pinterest Challenge project and getting oh so close to moving back into our master bedroom there have been some exciting changes going on that I need to update you all on. But first things first, we must pay homage to our Fourth of July project…a flag project, thanks to an [...]

Bad blogger, bad blogger. Back on Sunday I update you with a rustic, hand crafted, and virtually free garden trellis and never revealed to you the finished garden product. For shame! It must be all this invitation assembly that’s going on. My brain appears to be fried…or out to lunch. But anywho…lets get back to the garden along our driveway, shall we. The garden project all started because I needed [...]

Welcome to Angie's Roost (and Colby's Hen House) where you'll find daily posts about our misadventures in DIY home improvement. We bought a 100+ year old home that desperately needed some love and blogged about our entire adventure.
