A rennovation exploration

Time flies when you're procrastinating

almost a month ago we published the ode to mud...the ode continues so we're proposing a change, "ode" is no longer apropraite, it's now an epic. hundreds of years from now this epic will be required reading in classes that wish they were assigned tie Illiad instead.

You might be asking yourself, "why an epic" well it's a little bit ADD and a little bit desire to do something that doesn't make us want to cry. This weekend we did get another coat of joint compount up (mostly) and you'll be happy to know it's the last one. We also sealed the other new window on the first floor, replaced some weather stripping and now have something of an insulated box to live in. The rain gutters are now free of ice so we took the oportunity to do a last bit of touchup work on them and spent some time fighting with the enormous hedge that's trying to eat our house. We'll be pulling more of the hedge out as we go. The first plan was to reduce the thing, but that isn't going to happen in an attractive way, so we'll yank it. We have to do this, because removing the hedge leads to finishing the bedroom....once we've done everything we possibly can to avoid the bedroom we'll finally get to it.
