Having had lived in two brand new homes before moving in to this 1970's rambler has been quite an adjustment. When you live in a brand new home any changes you make are usually cosmetic decorating only. When you move in to an older home, everything needs replacing and updating.
2 years ago this houses garage door looked like this.
As much as I would love to replace it there are other things like piano lessons, school lunch, baseball cleats, etc. that are taking precedence at the

Warm Weather = Time To Paint!
Thanks to global warming Salt Lake City got up to 68 degrees this past week.
Crazy unusual.
I wasted no time and got my hiney outside to work on projects.
My friend found this huge board at Habitat For Humanity.
It was so heavy it required two people to lift it. My Mr. ripped it down the middle to create two boards. The wood was weathered and in rough shape. The more I sanded the more it started to flake of in chunks. I decided to see if I could find a commercial mill to plane the

Has it really been since Christmas that I last posted?
Well, it was a good little break.
Kids were home from school for the past 2 weeks and we spent some good old quality family time together doing a little playing, a little traveling, sharing a nasty cold, a little arguing, a little getting on each other's nerves...just normal family stuff.

You remember this little garage door makeover I recently posted?
As I mentioned, this garage door is almost 35 years old. It's heavier than an elephant, warped and cracking. I'm all for making do when necessary but I'm really ready to throw in the towel and put this door to rest. Speaking of garage doors, I've been using this cool new app by Garaga to browse for new doors. Options later. For now, I'm working on the shingles above the garage...my next headache. Are you so sick of my
New house numbers project and a giveaway!
This week I've teamed up with Proctor & Gamble and The Home Depot to bring you a new project and giveaway opportunity. At the first sign of 50 degree weather this year I wasted no time and headed outside to get a jump start on quite a few home projects that have been on my mind all winter.
