Does the carpet match the drapes?

Posted in Our House on March 11th, 2009 by Giraffe Hunter

Of course not, we don’t have drapes….

Finally after 2 years almost to the day we have covered the hideous pile of wood in the middle of the house.  We hired a professional for this job, yes I wussed out on the install… However I did tighten up the stairs to stop the clonking and creaking.

Merry Christmas

Olivia - 6 Month Photos

Sorry it’s been a while since my last Olivia update.  Enjoy the new batch of photos in the gallery under Olivia Month 6.

Lots of work this weekend

Front Door

The front doors arrived and are mostly installed.  The glass on the sidelights is not as big as I expected (see previous post), but they still look Great.  Work was halted due to the tropical storm that was unleashed right after the front of the house was torn off.  Hopefully we will get the trim finished this week.

The inside door was also replaced, this needs some touch up from ripping off the woodwork, but it looks and works so much better than the old one.

Back Door

I also plowed through on finishing up the back door.  Jeff helped out with the electrical and I went to town demolishing everything.  I am done building the Shoe holder that makes use of the crawl space under the kitchen.  Right now it works well for holding tools and keeping them out of my way, hopefully it does the same for all our shoes.

Here is a shot of the new Back door installed with the light we purchased when we bought the house also installed this week.

Dig a hole and plant a mailbox

Posted in Our House on August 18th, 2008 by Giraffe Hunter

Since our front door delivery is getting closer I decided it was time to plant a mailbox.  Our new door does not have one of those fancy grind your mail into the welcome mat slots so this is the next best thing.

40 pounds of Gravel, 80 pounds of concrete and some dirt and you too can grow your own US Postmaster approved mailbox.

Olivia’s first toof

It’s there I can feel it, but it is really shy so we are unable to photograph it.  Instead I will give you the next best thing a photo of the tooth hiding!  It’s under there I swear.
