[This is part of an ongoing series chronicling our one and half week attempt to finish a handful of moderately involved home improvement projects.  See the whole series here.] Sorry we’ve left you hanging … the few minutes a day I’d been taking to blog simply weren’t available in our last-minute push to get things as finished […]
[This is part of an ongoing series chronicling our one and half week attempt to finish a handful of moderately involved home improvement projects.  See the whole series here.] I’ll be brief today, as there’s lota lot to do on our second-to-last day before returning to our day jobs. Our goal yesterday was to finish the floor, […]

Amy got right to the […]
[This is part of an ongoing series chronicling our one and half week attempt to finish a handful of moderately involved home improvement projects. Â See the whole series here.] While drinking our coffee yesterday morning (I’m writing this early on Day 5, for reasons that will become apparent), we decided to give some more focused […]
[This is part of an ongoing series chronicling our one and half week attempt to finish a handful of moderately involved home improvement projects. Â See the whole series here.] Today was another short-ish day of work, though probably the last one for a while. The kids left this evening for their week with Grandmas & […]
[This is part of an ongoing series chronicling our one and half week attempt to finish a handful of moderately involved home improvement projects. Â See the whole series here.] Today started early — at least for me — when Nora decided to wake up and get out of bed at 6am. Â It’s not uncommon for […]
