A Garden for Party Time!

Remember when I used to post before and after pictures of home improvements? These days, the house is pretty much done so the dramatic improvements are limited, and I've had nothing to blog. Lucky for me, there is no shortage of improvements to be made at Nate's house and this weekend, I decided I would up his curb appeal and put in a garden. I wish I had the real before picture, with the beds all overgrown with weeds, but you'll have to use your imagination on that part. Before After \ PS. I have a new hobby.

Holmes Would Not Approve

Another fun weekend of home improvement. In order to avoid the massive hype that would surely ensue after the launch of YoBeat, I figured it would be best to just stay home anyway. That and I had a pile of lumber and a bunch of new windows just sitting around. Now if you know me, you may know I am sort of a spazz and patience isn't one of my better qualities. Instead of waiting until I had everything and doing it all at once, I insisted on putting the french doors as soon as we got them a few weeks ago. Apparently this t-111 siding has to lock together…

America Rules!

I was going to do a 4th of July post for 4th of July weekend, but I think I've come up with something even better. You see this weekend, I took advantage of what's truly great about this country.

But for some reason, the one thing I am willing to spend money on is my house, and I recently decided to bite the bullet and get all new windows and doors for the place. I planned on just paying for them out of savings then "paying myself…

Day 2

Just a photo and quick update on my yard project. Bribed some boys with beer and hot dogs to help me move the asphalt. Went to Home Depot and bought some plants. Set everything out how I want it. Today more digging, but it's coming together.

Under Construction

If you've been reading this blog then you have probably deduced the things that I am interested in: cats, food and extreme sports. But there is one more great passion in my life, home improvement! It's not just that I watch HGTV constantly, but since I got my house almost two years ago I have delighted in painting, digging, destroying and refurbishing things. While I have a very useful boyfriend who has done things like put in a sky light and wood floors, sometimes I just like to get my hands dirty myself. That, and my spazziness gets things done much more quickly than his need for perfection. He left…
