manic monday

I don’t think I showed you this sign we made a while back with our name. It’s in our living room and now it has Christmas all over it. It’s a lot of barn wood stuff, I know. Finishing up Christmas stuff, working on a set of end tables and trying to keep my hands from being so dry that they bleed. Cheers, s

creating a hallway closet when you don’t have one

OUR HOME is great. I mean, we like it. We do pray we won’t live here forever but it’s just fine for now. Plus its really old so we can do whatever we want to it and it will only improve.

workshop update {raise the ROOF}

We sort of owe our lives to Nathan’s brothers and dad…they devoted yet another precious Saturday to help put the roof up on the workshop. Um, the pitch of the roof was a death trap… Definitely a SLIGHT chance necks could have been broken on this day….but its not any fun with out risks…. I mean….its awesome, right?
