Well… this feels like a setback. We are keeping faith in our contractor that they are going to fix it and everything will be fine, but as of right now we have about seven tiles cracked in half. I’m not sure what caused it, as far as I have been … Continue reading
Not much more to share yet, but here’s a shot of what the shower looks like today. I think it’s going to be pretty stylish! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Kaitlyn has a good eye. We’ve been told that the end of this is going to … Continue reading
It doesn’t look like much, but apparently we have passed city inspection for electrical and plumbing in the bathroom. You’ll notice a few things in this picture; first we have two shower heads and two valves. The lower valve is the main water control, and the upper switches between the … Continue reading
This morning I had to take care of something for work, and Kaitlyn headed over to the house before me and got the baseboards coated in Citristrip. By the time I got there they were ready to go, and we spent a while scraping the paint. This part is gross, … Continue reading
One of the first places we got to work was the bedroom, the one we want to be our room. It’s the one without water damage, and it is the farthest from neighbor’s houses. Over the last few weeks we have stripped off all of the wallpaper and have prepped … Continue reading

We’re going to have a few fast updates this month! One of the very first projects that we’re tackling before we move in is the bathroom. We are spending a major chunk of our house prep budget on a contractor to get it done quickly (and right), but there’s only … Continue reading
This is probably the biggest project I’ve ever tackled. We bought a 1927 house! It needs some love, and we’re learning as we go. Watch for new posts. I’m adding Kaitlyn as an author here, and we hope you’ll enjoy sharing in our journey.
This is a topic that I’m still fairly shaky on, so anybody out there reading this as a possible reference should probably take this all with a grain of salt. After building the LX521 speakers I could tell that they weren’t delivering precisely the sound that I know that they’re … Continue reading
It’s about time I had an update! This is basically skipping to the end from the last post, building cables, but I’ve been pressed for time in getting them built so I didn’t keep blogging as I went. I have a few pictures of putting the cabinets together, but it’s … Continue reading
