You Suck.
I mean, seriously. Have you guys ever seen a measuring tape, a level or a square? Is it really that hard to ensure that cabinets hung next to each other are at the same height? Is it too much to ask that a piece of drywall not bow inwards at odd angles? Is it […]

We're not done yet. It's taking forever and we still don't have the ability to use the stove/oven or sink. But we just dropped the sink in tonight and doesn't it look so pretty with the counter top? My neighbor, Rick, was over tonight helping and described the sink as "hot". I'm not sure I've […]

The trip to Home Despot is often enough to make me drag my heels for weeks on basic home improvement tasks. It's usually too crowded, nobody useful works there, nothing is labeled. I suppose if you're a elbow-throwing contractor that knows what he's looking for, that might not be so bad. For a neophyte like […]

So… many more pieces of counter just spontaneously fell off . And then the counter turned into the giant scab on your arm that you just can't leave alone. I picked at it and picked at it… until this happened:

After several months of wishing it was working, we finally had an electrician pay us a visit today to address our derelict swamp cooler. After about 45 minutes, he had it all wrapped up and good to go. The issue?
There was a loose wire. That's right, something the last guy could have fixed in just […]

In fact, I think I heard it say it might go for a walk later.

Yesterday afternoon, I set out with a shovel to find out which one of the irrigation pipes it was that had decided to go plooie. It only took having the irrigation lines on for about five minutes before it became very obvious where I needed to start digging. Several hours later (and with Shauna's extensive […]

Outside in the dirt in the ground? With the wind and the sky and everything? We garden!
Isn't it beautiful? That's what 50 newly planted strawberry plants look like. You're all invited for strawberry shortcake this summer.
The kit included this little netting thingie that's supposed to be for keeping the birds away from our strawberries. But […]

Yesterday marked the true first sign of spring. No, I'm not talking about sunny skies and chirping birds. I'm talking about busting out the grill and doing some manly cooking over open flame. Yes, I broke out the BBQ for dinner last night to take advantage of the great weather outside. While the results weren't […]
