I went to Homesense to pick some things up for my MIL, so I checked out the area rug section. As you know, I'm still looking for a dining room rug. Worlds.slowest.purchaser.right.here. I found a couple of rugs that were okay. Nothing I loved. But maybe I need to accept that there won't be anything swoon-worthy in my budget...Nothing Much Going On

There is a squirrel in the attic.Well, Mat doesn't think he's in the actual attic but in the sloped ceiling area that is inaccessible by us.
{ January 2005 - squirrel habitat: pale cream far wall. Um, ignore my goofy self. } This little beast seems to be on a schedule. Some days between 1:00 and 2:00 PM, I hear it scratching,...

None of the rooms we've worked on are completely done. NONE. Embarrassing but true. Like I've said before, Mat and I both suffer from the 80/20 disease: once 80% of the room is done, we're too tired of the space to finish up everything (some of the items are listed on my 2012 Project List).Take the upstairs...

You know how Mat had a business trip and took a friend's broken t.v. board with him to get fixed? Well, the newly fixed board survived two airplane flights across Canada and worked when tested at our buddy's apartment. We transported the beast back to our house a few weeks ago where the guys played video games in HD...Etsy - Corbels

I've talked before about the plumbing issues in the basement due, in part, to improper venting. On Friday morning, we had a plumbing company come to clear the massive clog.First, though, I have to say that I have serious anxiety about dealing with workmen, which includes all aspects of the process: emails, phone calls,...

Mat and I signed the contract on Friday with JWS Woodworking for the front porch. I think that makes us 30 year olds REAL adults now, right? :)To keep costs down (and not lose our street cred as DIYers... hah!), we'll be doing the demolition (saves $1200), priming and painting (saves $1800), and making the gingerbread and...
