I looked outside to see a ASNutiful sunset forming -- lots and lots of pink. I figured I'd wait about 15-minutes for the full effect... and I did. Within 15-minutes, the clouds were heavy and the pink gone, I gave up on capturing the gorgeous sky I missed. Oh well......
Yesterday, a contractor came with a pad and pen to write down what I want done to the barndo so he could provide a quote. There are several little things I want done, but my highest priority is to cover up the ugly. It's time to have some real walls! The room we spend...
The absolute worst thing about a barndo if you don't design it yourself is making someone else's plan work for you. If you're building a barndo, plan carefully! Every single place you want water/sewer access is set in stone... the concrete kind. There's not a...
I'm about to the point that I'm ready to redo another room. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to do the downstairs bathroom or pick one bathroom upstairs to tackle first. Both bathrooms upstairs need it more -- but I look at the one downstairs most. I don't like...

Thinking about closing this down -- or maybe just posting sunset photos for what remains of the 52 one-per-week goal. I only have so much to say and whatifitdid.com has been around SO LONG! The first post there was January 1, 2008. So many memories and so much BS. In...
There are many cool features implemented here at the barndo -- well thought out and planned. There are also quite a few things that either feel like a mistake or just slopped together... JANK. The mission... that I've obviously already accepted... I need to figure out...
So the kitchen, dining room, and downstairs hallway are soon to be painted. I'm not choosing the kitchen backsplash tile until I see if I'm happy with the colors I finally picked out for the walls. The kitchen in Seymour had several coats of paint during my time...
I'm on the motivation struggle bus. I need paint and I don't know what colors to buy. I need heat and I don't know what I'm going to do. I need walls but don't want to spend the $7k to get them right now. I need my freezer (and other things) moved from the Pesky's...
