Our Concrete Home
Our blog chronicles our adventures around our 1952 concrete block house.
Blog of the Month - October 2011
Over at Our Concrete Home, Andrea, Nate, and their two feline friends (Pixel & Loki) are busy making their concrete block house a home. Since purchasing their 1950's house in 2009, they've filled their blog with details on all kinds of DIY projects (including painting inside and out, replacing windows and doors, removing tired landscaping and tearing out old flooring, to name a few). Alongside their project work, they're sharing some decorating inspiration, their entertaining adventures, and the experience of being featured on Bath Crashers. Our personal favorite, though, are the Feline Friday posts featuring all of Pixel and Loki's mischief … they make us smile every time! Be sure to stop on over and get to know this great blog … we're sure you won't be disappointed!

With the walls in, next up was finishing a few electrical projects. Again, with my patient father’s help, I changed out the tiny, old light box above the mirror with a deep plastic box. This gave the three sets of wires more room and gave us more reassurance that they were all nicely contained. My dad was extremely happy how...

I am trying something new – vlogging about my Halloween decorations with some behind-the-scenes shots. This is only a lightly edited video, so you are warned that I say “cool” and “awesome” about 50 times. Enjoy!...

Prison Bath Update Part 3: Doors go in and walls are sealed

Here’s the current state of our dining table for the last few months. It works out well to have quick access to everything we might need to the bathroom since we usually store this lot in the outside shed. With the hot weather, we rarely entertain inside these days anyways.
Now on to the bathroom. With the drywall up,...

Here’s Mr. MVP of our prison bathroom renovation. Having the summer off from teaching, Nate’s been able to do 90% of the work and focus on all the little details while I am on my day job. I know, I am a lucky girl. Since I wasn’t personally involved with most of the projects, in the next few posts I’ll be...
