This Thanksgiving weekend, despite all the gratuitous turkey related napping, we were able to get a few hours of work done on our trim upgrades.  We finished up the installation portion of the chair rail molding that we has started last week.  We still have to caulk, putty and paint, but we’ll do all of […]

This week we started a new interior project: molding.  We’re thrilled to be finally done with the garage and all the outside adventures.  We’ll be installing a chair rail molding in our vestibule as well as some crown molding enhancements throughout the house.  We decided to add these features before we start the paint.  It’s […]

Since I’ve been in the market for a new miter saw, I thought it would be a good idea to write a post about all the features that I take into consideration when making a new miter saw purchase. If you don’t have a lot of experience with one of these or are thinking about […]

After a couple hours in the garage last night rewiring our garage door opener, I can safely say we’ve pretty much wrapped up the major work in there for the season.  Here’s how our checklist looks at this point… –  Have the garage spackled. –Paint – Epoxy the floor (postponed until APR/MAY) – Paint the […]

If you’re like me you are probably thinking another post on the garage?  Yes, my friends, the garage project is still going on. One piece of the garage puzzle that is still missing is shoe organization. We need small shelves to keep shoes on in the garage. So off to Lowe’s I went to see […]

Despite another busy week and weekend, I was able to plant myself in the garage and get some serious painting done (used Olympic ONE).  All told, I probably put about 8 hours worth of time in this ridiculously over-dragged out project and that’s just for one coat!!  But anyway, the paint is finally done. Here’s […]

Well this week has flown by.  We’re still in the process of painting our garage!!  It never ends.  Thought I’d take a minute and share with everyone what our post topics will be next week: 1.  The conclusion of the garage project, for now anyways.  A month ago, when we started planning this small job, […]

We I temporarily interrupt the greatness that is the garage progress with something a little more domestic – Christmas time!! It all started because i was a good wife and picked up some drop clothes at the dollar store. Then I got to looking at the Christmas stuff. Then I went to a few more […]

This week we faced a critical juncture in our garage spruce up project.  We’re ready to paint, but our schedule hasn’t afforded us the free time during the warm hours of the day.  It’s been too cold lately.  You can’t paint below 50 F.  During the week, I’m only able to paint after work or […]

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Ours was hectic as usual and we didn’t get as much done as we’d like, but this week, it’s ON.  We got a little painting done in the garage yesterday and I’m planning on wrapping that up by this time next week, because we’re already planning our entryway project!!
