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!! […]

So, yesterday on Twitter I promised our readers our first poll.  We’d like to add more interactivity and it’s a great way to get feedback on some of our projects and ideas.  Specifically, I said we’d be voting on a new catchphrase, with our current one being “building our home one project at a time.”  […]

Thanks to Mother Nature bestowing snow and rain on us this weekend, our garage painting had to be postponed! But don’t worry – we (mostly John) fought the urge to stay in and watch Halloween movies and instead went over to the paint store (plus he fixed our doorbell.) Before we headed out, we looked […]

So I find myself on Sunday with a free day since I postponed painting the garage.  The next day is Halloween and Lisa and I will have about 50 kids ringing our doorbell for a few hours.  There’s just one problem though, our doorbell isn’t working!  It hasn’t been working for the past couple months.  […]

Happy Halloween everybody!  Hope everyone gets all the candy they can stand.  Lisa and I will be taking the baby out for her first Halloween later today.  Really looking forward to it!  She’s going to be a ladybug!  Two years ago, Lisa and I went to a party as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his […]
