Exactly two years ago yesterday, we purchased our home and notified the world (well, we notified the social media “world”). The pic of the house on January 29, 2016 (above) feels like a lifetime ago. It seems fitting that we are just about ready to move in…not done by a long shot…but able to move
Another Tuesday Tidbits with a few items that have kept us busy this week! We installed 2 of the 4 garage doors openers this week and we seriously feel like we are living the high life! For 18 months we have manually opened and closed the garage doors…every single day. The opener is one of
Below is a Friday Fun treat! The Pears family has been extremely generous sharing photos they have found of the home (some dating back to the late 1800’s). While I have shared a couple of these with you already…a couple are new. Below are a handful of old photos and then immediately following is a
Ahhhhh!!!!!! We are so close…and yet still so far away for this Tuesday Tidbits. It kind of feels like every time we cross one item off our task list, we find three more to replace it. Everything at this point is little, tedious and very small reward. Nonetheless, we are both starting to get very

As we near the end of the year, we like to look back and see how far we have come. **If you are in the middle of a renovation/home project of your own, just look at your before photos…it will help push you through to the end.** So while these still are not true “before
We have once again had another busy week for our Tuesday Tidbits (we really sound like a broken record). While our projects are a little less major than at the start of the project, they are finishes. Which means they take 10x’s as long as far larger projects even though they look like they should
Friends, this Tuesday Tidbits is extra special! The above photo was sent to us by the Pears family recently and it is uh-mazing. The photo is pre-fire (which we know occurred sometime in the 1920’s). This shows the home in her full glory. Trent and I sat and looked at this photo forever. The house
