Before
We’ve taken a slight break on the interior of the house and set our sights on the exterior. We’ve been having some issues with people cutting across our yard. We opted to put in a “natural” fence, planting arbor vitae and wysteria along the perimeter of the yard. After that, we put up a small […]

Mary shows us “Before”
We spent the day yesterday resurfacing our massive asphalt driveway. While the driveway wasn’t cracking or anything, it wasn’t in the best of shape. All in all, it went really well. I mean, yeah, it was messy and I had to use a scouring pad to get the tar off of my […]

After
As promised, here are some “Before and After” shots of the living room. This is the one room that we have completed thus far. I’m particularly pleased with the color scheme that we went with.

Before
Well, my folks came through for a few days last week to help with some projects around the house. We got an incredible amount of work done. In fact, we actually finished the living room! I’ll post pics of that in a few days. The biggest surprise was that we made some major headway on […]

You may remember my previous post about the kids’ room. Well, Laura and her mom put in all of the finishing touches yesterday and the result is the coolest room. Ever. Provided, of course, you like your sea sponges in square pants.

Laura spent her Friday finishing up the paint in the master bedroom. You may remember what it looked like in an earlier post. Things are definitely coming along. Our new windows were delivered this past Wednesday and are slated to be installed this coming Monday, so we’re pretty excited about that. Expect more pictures once […]

We decided to tackle the bathroom this weekend. We bit off a little more than we could chew with this undertaking, as you’ll notice from the “Before” pictures. Between the original subfloor, the copious amounts of leveller and the concrete backer board that was under the linoleum floor, just getting to the point where we […]

Well, Laura’s been hounding me to update the site all week, so here you go. Our latest area of focus is the kitchen. Laura rearranged the appliances to make the area functional. We were considering a complete overall of the cabinets, but we felt it’d be too costly and time-consuming a project to undertake right […]

As most of you know, I’m an avid gamer, so it went without saying that the gaming center would establish a foothold in the new pad with a quickness. After a lot of arguments with my three-year-old daughter Brynn over use of the “big TV”, I opted to try something new. I went out and […]

Well, we’ve just about wrapped up everything in the kids’ room. All that’s left is to lay down some trim around the bottoms of the walls and put up their Spongebob wall-border. Other than that, their room is ready to be lived in. Laura also started painting the walls in our bedroom. We’ve got one […]
