The photo above might not look like much to you, but to me it is full of potential… Potential walls! This ‘build your own house’ gig is a lesson in patience for me. It takes a long time to double the size of your house when you are doing pretty much all of it yourself, [...]

After taking a week of writing blog posts last week I managed to tick off two things on my To Do list. Yep, you read that right. TWO THINGS! I had plans to knock off the majority of the items on the long list so that I wouldn’t have them hanging over my head as [...]
