Bad Year for Cars
First it was my car needing a new exhaust, alternator, then tires. The driver side window switch also died and the passenger side closed door switch quit working. Then it was Jen’s car needing a new hybrid battery. Now it’s leaking oil. Something I wouldn’t expect from a Toyota with so few miles. Something the […]
I Suck at This
Got all ready to work on the hideout tonight, when I discovered the piece of drywall I took off the wall downstairs won’t work for the hideout ceiling. Because of the receptacle that was cut into it, it’s not a big enough. Because the ceiling has to go up first, I couldn’t just use it […]
Mouse Season
It’s that time of year. It’s getting cold outside, so the mice are trying to get in. Saw the tell-tale signs in the storage room downstairs. Set the trap, went to bed, and woke up with a little present this morning. And so it goes. – b ps. I’ll have to take a picture of […]

Before she was born we installed MDF beadboard around the walls of her room. Being that it’s a bookshelf, it must be anchored to the wall […]
Mom’s Other Endeavers

She’s been sanding and repainting it at night when she gets a chance. Of course Abigail had to have something about it purple, so off to Home Depot they […]
Not Good
Pellet stove is unhappy. Of course the Internet forums paint a picture of doom and gloom for that particular error. We shall see. – b
New Endeaver
Jen’s been selling baby stuff on ebay and Craig’s List. It’s kind of a slow process, but effective. Now that she’s got her posting routine down, she can get the stuff up quickly. It’s waiting for the auctions to run or people to express interest and actually buy that takes the time. Either way the […]
Lauren Sleeping
Posting pictures of Lauren sleeping every day wasn’t going to scale. Now you can check out the (semi) daily pictures in the Lauren Sleeping Gallery. – b
