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 [...]

2 Comments As you may or may not have noticed thanks to all those Instagram pics, Colby and I spent a little time in Boston last weekend. Our primary purpose of the trip was to go down to Fenway and see a Red Sux…I mean…Red Sox game (they lost in extra innings….booooo) and then to the Sam Adams Octoberfest (it was beer-tastic). But it just so happened that the hotel we stayed [...]

But I have amassed a whopping six coats of paint in the room. After stripping all the wallpaper and patching the plaster walls during our first month of home ownership back in 2010, it took two coats of primer followed by two [...]

This Wedding Wednesday, I am very proud to announce Wedding Week. With just over a week to go until our big day I thought we would nix the house projects temporarily and focus on all things Angie & Colby’s big day. Mostly because all I seem to stress think about these days is my wedding to-do list. So if you’re not into the wedding planning and would like to see [...]

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 [...]
