As you may have guessed by my lack of posting, the granite backsplash didn’t get done the weekend before last as it was supposed to. I guess the standard height of a granite backsplash is 4″ but we only had about 3.25″ under the window casings behind the sink. Jeff didn’t tell the granite guy […]

Just as an update to my last post, with the addition of the deduction of the real estate taxes paid at closing our combined total state and federal refund came to $1600!
We haven’t actually received our return yet, but that didn’t stop us from spending some of our proceeds in anticipation, thanks mostly to our […]

I finally had a second to snap a picture of our fabulous new Simplehuman step trash can. It was my choice as a housewarming gift from my aunt who asked me what we wanted/needed.. (I hope she didn’t read anything into the symbolism!)
Here’s a pic of our “trash can” before:

So apparently Jeff has acquired a fence bug after putting up the back yard privacy fence..
I got an email from him asking where he could get a picture of the front of our house (um, yeah, he doesn’t really read the blog much..)
I sent him this:
And about an hour later I get an email […]

Well, it makes us good neighbors, I’m still not too sure about THEM. By THEM I mean the family who live next door who are very nice but clearly don’t count home maintenance among their virtues.
Oh yeah, Hi, I’m back!! Well, sort of back..Jeff (Aka the Charmed & Dangerous widower) has been doing house stuff […]

When my uber talented friend Evan Palazzo who made this video for us is NOT shooting and editing video or acting in a film or play, he’s playing the best jazz piano you’ve ever heard either on his website or as his alter ego heavydutyfats on youtube!
I’m apparently not quite as talented at embedding the […]
