Do you remember our carport? The main structure of the carport was built back in May 2018, and while it has been usable ever since then, it has never been finished. Here’s what it looks like today… The carport is behind my studio, and has an awesome concrete wheelchair ramp that goes into the French

As of last night, all of the electrical stuff is finished on the mural wall of the studio. This has been quite the project that started with having to remove drywall, remove spray foam insulation, move six junction boxes, rewire the outlets and switch, and fill in spray foam insulation that had to be removed.

The mural wall in the studio is soooo close to being finished! After his horrible weekend (which I shared about here), Matt had a really great day yesterday, which means that I had a big chunk of uninterrupted time from 3-9pm to work on it. I got most of the electrical stuff finished (wiring five

I headed into this past weekend feeling very confident that I’d be able to completely finish the mural wall in the studio, and show up this morning to show you all kinds of pictures of the finished wall. But we all know how plans go, right? Sadly, things didn’t work out how I had planned

It has been a very long and seemingly endless process, but yesterday I finally put the finishing touches on the IKEA cabinets that I used on the mural wall. They are now completely installed and finished, and as soon as I get the outlet situation finished up, I’ll be ready to start organizing things in

Yesterday, I shared my current plan for extending the use and function of my kitchen into the breakfast room without doing any major remodeling that would require moving water lines, jackhammering up a concrete foundation, or repairing and replacing flooring. If you missed that plan, you can read about it here. As I shared yesterday,

A couple of weeks ago, I shared what I would do with the breakfast room (after we build our addition) if I could do whatever I wanted with no constraints. You can read about that here, but the very short version is that I’d double the size of my kitchen, expanding it into the breakfast

I’m still working on getting the mural wall in the studio finished. It really is a big job. After all, it’s the main wall, so I want it perfect. Plus, there are things to do that aren’t really seen, like getting the outlets inside the cabinets installed. But the fact is that this wall has

As I’ve been planning our addition, I’ve always envisioned a wood deck out the back doors of the family room and our new bedroom. It would be really big, and expensive, especially if we use something like Trex to make it maintenance-free. I would want the whole deck to be as wide as our addition,

If I’m looking at my calendar right, I should be meeting with the architect about our addition next week. We don’t have a meeting scheduled, but he was going on vacation and we planned to meet when he gets back. So hopefully we can schedule a meeting by the end of next week. I’ve been

The other day, I had someone ask me how the changes in the hallway bathroom are going. Well, so far, I’ve managed to change my mind about 15 times, get about half of the fixtures swapped out, and flood the bathroom. Oh, yeah. I may have buried the lede there. I flooded the bathroom. 😀

It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted a C.O.P. (cleaning, organizing, purging) project! But a few days ago, I reached my limit with our crazy battery and cord drawer. So I ordered a couple of battery organizers, and as soon as they were delivered yesterday, I got to work. Let me back up

I have to apologize up front because this post is filled with some pretty scary photos that I never intended to be made public. But the longer I suffered with this issue, the more convinced I became that I had to share it with y’all, if for no other reason than as a warning so
