Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
So we really haven’t done much with the Cabin over this Summer, but we did get started on the wood stove project. We still have a bit more to do, but we’re hopeful we’ll finish the install by rainy season! First we got the platform planned out and installed in the living room. Next we… Continue reading Kitchen Backsplash!
Okay, so maybe it's not exactly a farm....yet. But here's a picture update of all of our animals and gardens! First and foremost. The goats are the most amazing addition! I love Ben and Jerry. They are crazy and obnoxious, but they are so hard not to love :). The birds and Korben Dallas the… Continue reading Farm Update
Whoops. I didn’t realize I already missed three weekends worth of posts! So I have more than enough pictures to share. But I haven’t had much spare time the past few weeks, so this is going to be short and sweet with tons of pictures that will hopefully speak for themselves :)! The first project… Continue reading Four
This COVID-19 virus is wreaking havoc on so many people's lives. I am personally ready for the world to go back to normal, to be able to be social again, and to feel zero stress/concern for my in-laws when going to work or just running to the grocery store. It's crazy how many different aspects… Continue reading Nine…Again(?)
Last weekend marked nine weekends left until move in date! Though with all the shut downs with the corona virus maybe that’ll be altered. Last Friday we went out and attempted to bring home enough supplies for the next 4 major projects. We’ll see how we did as the projects progress I guess :)! I’ve… Continue reading Nine
Eleven work weekends until the move in deadline! Last weekend we (mostly Husband and our buddy A) got ALL our sub-floor water lines in! We also finished the plumbing - got it all glued together and hung at the proper grade. We started with finishing up the plumbing and honestly it didn’t take as long… Continue reading Eleven
My how time flies. I just finished my fifth quarter (of seven!) in the radiologic technology program! Feels like just yesterday I was contemplating the 3 year wait list and if I would still want to be on the same path that far in the future. Now here we are almost 5 years later feeling… Continue reading December Already?!
Monday was the first day of Fall. Sounds crazy. I'm pretty sure yesterday was the first day of Summer. Regardless, the rain and cooler weather has been making me feel as cozy as Maverick here. We're putting the garden to bed - i.e. MIL (Mother-in-law) is letting the chickens and ducks roam free through the… Continue reading Fall Has Arrived
Despite my best intentions, I have been doing a very poor job at updating weekly! The past couple of weekends were full of fun and exciting progress, though with the inevitable oncoming rainy season of the PNW, the progress can't seem to come fast enough. The weekend before last we started with finishing up our… Continue reading French Doors, French Drains, and Crawl Spaces
Today marks one year that we've owned our little (soon to be) oasis. This beautiful gem of a property first showed up in our lives in mid June and, I kid you not, the moment I laid eyes on the Cabin I knew it was the one. Now, just to be fair, there were like… Continue reading One Year Later
