Well, I’ve had a busy couple weeks!  Between a grad school midterm and some work travel, I haven’t had much time to blog at all.  I’m pretty confident that we’ll be doing three posts this week though so stay tuned! This past week we started two projects: the garage and the front door.  Both are […]

Just got back from a long work trip and found myself with some rare free time and decided to wrap up the mulch on the last flower bed I added.  It had been a couple weeks or more since the last time i had been over on that side of the house and right away […]

I know.  It’s only September.  It’s not going to snow in Jersey for at least another two or three months!  What gives? So two years ago we lived here… (I can’t find a photo of our old house after all the exterior trim work was done, oh well)  We had all about 20 square feet […]

Since Lisa and I started to assemble the nursery last December, we knew we would probably need a bedside table. We had a little extra space for another piece, so something small and round seemed like the best choice since it would probably be where we rest the lamp and the baby’s angel care monitor. […]

Ever have one of those weekends where you plan to do a couple simple, well planned chores and despite all your efforts, you don’t finish either one?  Well, I had one of those weekends.  I planned to start and finish two projects, the first one, which I’m writing about in this post is the flower […]

So for about the last month, our baby girl has been crawling all over the place.  She’s even walking while keeping her hands on the couches!!  It’s CRAZY!!  At only seven months old now, we’re very proud of our little mover and shaker.  While it’s a ton of fun to chase her around our family […]

Hope everyone made it through the hurricane safe and sound! It got pretty windy here, but luckily we didn’t have any damage. We had a good scare around 9 pm when a tornado warning was issued for our county!! As soon as the notice came on the TV, we booked it into the basement with […]

Well, Armageddon Week continues here on the east coast.  In addition to grabbing the standard Glenn Beck/Zombie Apocalypse approved fallout shelter supplies like water, batteries and toilet paper, we thought it may be a smart idea to install a whole house surge protector in case our electricity were to surge on and off as it’s […]

With August winding down it’s time to put our landscaping work into high gear.  I sure don’t want a frozen 3 foot high pile of mulch on my lawn come December.  With grad school night classes starting up again for me this week and the Flyer’s season starting soon (I try to watch every single […]

Now to finish up our drip irrigation system installation… We just got more 1/2″ supply line a few days ago, so I’m going to finally get back to work on it.  I actually bought another 200 ft of hose just in case, because I’m not interested in running out again.  Irrigationdirect.com sells the supply line […]
