Remodeling and addition (day 5)
~Wednesday~ Uht oh! Remember how the house looked when last we saw it? Here’s a reminder: Well tonight it poured, and while I slept on the couch in the other room, Bob calmly attended to all this:
~Wednesday~ Uht oh! Remember how the house looked when last we saw it? Here’s a reminder: Well tonight it poured, and while I slept on the couch in the other room, Bob calmly attended to all this:
~Tuesday~ It was a little rainy today, so not too much happened, but the removal of the deck was completed with the exception of one little section. Porch, deck, and foundation gone Porch, deck, and foundation gone (zoomed out)
~Monday~ The dumpster was emptied today and demolition work continued on removing the rest of the porch out back. Our first dumpster emptying Porch walls and roof gone head-on view Porch walls and roof gone view from left Porch walls and roof gone view from right Porch completely gone
~Thursday~ Welcome to the latest update and thanks for your interest in following along with our remodeling and addition adventure. Several people have commented about how frustrating such a project can be, warned us to have patience as we proceed, and said that it’ll undoubtedly be fraught with setbacks and delays. Fortunately for us (and … Read more
~Tuesday~ Bob and I are about to start an adventure. We’re remodeling some of our existing house and putting on an addition. The remodeling involves the current dining area, which will become an office; our current kitchen, which will become a dining area and galley kitchen; and our porch, which will be moved and changed … Read more

When describing the publication history of the book, he mentioned that at one time it was available for download for $.99 … Read more

~Wednesday~ I’m not a fan of sci-fi, so it’s an anomaly that I watched this film. Bob had paid—which is also an anomaly—to stream it from Netflix, and since we had access to it for several days, I went ahead and watched it, too. Bob had already watched it, himself, but he watched again with … Read more
