You're not supposed to care about what happens to a house you called home once you move away. It's not that I really care, but for some reason it makes me sad. Crazy, right? The Seymour house: I was at the Seymour house for about 10 years. It's a GREAT house but it...
I know... I know... I'm obsessed with horizons. Sunsets aren't so bad in Indiana either... Busy week ahead. If the contractor shows up when he's supposed to on Wednesday, this week is going to be rough. And I'm already dreading the upcoming weekend when Coco and Ben...
On this very cool (29° F) morning, I'm prioritizing all the stuff we must accomplish within the next few days. The contractor will likely begin on Monday -- at some point during next week for sure. We have a lot of ducks that we need to get lined up. One garage door...
I received a text this morning from my selected contractor letting me know he would be starting soon. While I'm more than ready to get this show on the road, I'm really dreading the interim where "normal" days will be nonexistent. Repeat info plus more things to worry...

Yesterday wasn't so bad. There were signs of spring everywhere. There was actually some sun. There were too many clouds to get a sunset photo last night. And then, the cloudy night rolled into a rainy day today. Cold, wet and crappy all in one photo: Barndo progress...
Another expense incoming to bring the barndo up to par. Gutter guards are pretty important if you don't want to get on a ladder to clean them. That's way up there, you guys, and Mr. Pesky was on a ladder today to fix the issue below... I'm glad I missed it -- it makes...
I didn't get to start on any work on the walls or even think about paint. Instead, I spent most of the day waiting on Hendrix Pools to set-up the hot tub. Too bad it's raining. It's full but I can't even check the temperature since it's raining. It's rained about all...
My contractor didn't give me an exact start date. He merely said he would begin in "weeks" and not "months." Besides covering up the lovely spray foam insulation in the room downstairs, he'll be completing all the trim work upstairs. Wouldn't it be easier to paint...
