This post is less gallery, more linear. I’m also putting in a cut to not make this too absurdly long. Lizzy paints the garage, outside of the house with all the flowers in bloom (this is from about a month ago), and some other bits..

So, at this point, the main floor is basically done. We did the bedroom when we moved in, and over the past couple of years have hit the rest of the rooms on this floor, excepting the master bathroom (which is a gut to the studs and redo job) and the conservatory (which, aside from [...]

I realize entries have been sparse, but that’s because I’m trying to get a pile of things done before the oppressive summer heat settles in, which it kind of started to do last weekend, but I’ve been dealing.

Been busy, but still here. I’ve updated the blog to WP 3.8. I also had a bit of an overloaded meltdown a couple of weeks ago. Basically, the working theory was that we weren’t going to work on the house or do anything until after the potatoes went in (which happens about the second week [...]

Last weekend, Liz and I stopped by Zombie Planet. They have Battletech league which runs Thursdays, which I will likely start attending some time in the next month (I have meetings the next two Thursdays). Because of the above, I picked up a copy of Battletech:Total Warfare. It’s a good thing that the pages are [...]

Responding to ‘s challenge to show him our living rooms, I give you mine. Since he was nonspecific as to what qualifies as a living room (the central room of the house, or the room with the home theater system), I will include both.

Liz and I went to the home show with her folks this weekend. Lots of stuff, looked at gas fireplaces, and flooring for the dining room (bamboo – eco friendly and super cheap) and generally had a good time. (We also went to exit 9 liquors and got some wine and good Sake, but that [...]
