Temporary digs

August 9th, 2010 | No Comments

We’ve had our homestead for going on three years now, yet we still don’t live there permanently. This is extremely frustrating, but at the same time, we want to make sure everything is done right. And the only way to make sure it’s done right, as the saying goes, is to do it yourself. For [...]

Pre-spring thaw

Spring is still a couple of weeks away, but we’re finally beginning to thaw out here. Much of the snow has disappeared from the neighborhood lawns, turning them into a somewhat soggy mess instead.
