Craft Room Phase I!

MacGyver and I were sitting around this weekend trying to decide what to do. Suddenly he said, lets go knock out that wall in the craft room. As soon as I realized he wasn't kidding, up we went! We moved some of the stuff around but weren't able to get it all out of the room. Now, for any of you who has never had to remove lath and plaster walls before,...

Today's lesson: How to install a dishwasher and garbage disposal!

MacGyver bought me a dishwasher! We've both been thinking about it for a while, but you can imagine my surprise when MacGyver said "let's go buy a dishwasher!" God bless Tillamook too, the saleman delivered it in his personal pickup truck for free. When you view the picture of the dishwasher, think of violins and a choir in the background, maybe a...

Hauser von Schnauzer!

Meet Mojo! He turned seven weeks old today and we were able to finally bring him home! While some of the following pictures may depict images in which Linus appears to be happy about the new puppy, sadly, this is not the case. It appears he was not expecting this outcome from his little rendezvous last fall! Linus has become quite the drama queen in the...

Long time no bloggie...

He actually did this a few weeks ago, but I'm just getting around to posting it now (oops!) He took an old...

The Floors: Chapter Two!

My computer has been out of commission for a few days while I relocated it to a more permanent home. The picture uploading cradle is connected to that and so I apologize for slacking. The last post you all read included photos of MacGyver in the process of lifting the floors. The next day, he raised the floors a tad bit more. Amazing what an eensy weensy...

The Floors: Chapter One

MacGyver spent today working on the floors! When his friend was here awhile back they made a string line to show where the posts should meet the main beam. MacGyver used cement that was supposed to dry in three minutes... still not dry... still not dry... three hours later it still isn't dry. Apparently the basement is too cold so hopefully...
