Sharing our restoration journey of an 1890's homestead in the PNW!
The plants on the property have been going crazy. We've had rainy gloomy days followed by hot sunny summer days over and over for quite a while now. I suppose that's the best kind of Spring. I'm a big fan of summer. I'm not such a big fan of Spring. But since getting invested in… Continue reading Property Update
This week has been pretty busy. Heck, this year has been pretty busy. My husband has had a huge project going on at work for the past month, and now they are going to be moving the company to a new building in a few weeks to top it off! He's been pretty beat lately.… Continue reading Still Continuing the Lift!
This week I have a ton of flower pictures to share again; May is gorgeous around here. But we also did quite a bit of work, that doesn't look like a ton of work. We got the chicken run all fenced in - including some fishing net over the top to discourage the eagles. We… Continue reading The Lift Continued…
First of all, apologies for the neglect. I know you've been dying to hear what's going on, when in reality there's been a lack of updates due to the lack of updates :). On a positive note, there's been a ton of change in the foliage and what they say is true, April showers bring… Continue reading The Lift
We didn't get to do too much with the Cabin again this weekend, but that didn't keep us from being productive! We've learned that there is always more to be done around here! My father-in-law brought home a beautiful tractor and I was given the privilege of the maiden voyage running the tiller! I did… Continue reading Homestead Living
The great thing about being back in school is being back on the school schedule. You get more holidays - plus random days off for "faculty days" and such. And you get BREAKS. It's pretty awesome. This week was Spring Break and I got a whole week off! Only 5 more quarters to go!! This… Continue reading Spring Break!
So this weekend we didn't get to make too much progress again. It's not as much fun when we don't get to see as much change over a weekend. But we do have a log cabin restoration specialist scheduled to come out and meet with us on Wednesday morning. I'm excited to hear what he… Continue reading Weekend Ten
(Fair warning: it was a slow weekend in terms of work done and progress made on the Cabin) This weekend we didn't do a whole lot of work to the Cabin. Really, we spent a little time cleaning up the piles from the previous weekends and ended up spending more time mountain biking (and there… Continue reading Weekend Nine
Addition Take Down: Part Two! Would you believe it if I told you it snowed twice more this week?! Neither would I. But it did. Weird. There's still snow in places where the sun doesn't shine much, but it's melting! This weekend we worked hard to get the remainder of the addition removed so that… Continue reading Weekend Eight
So there's good news, great news and bad news. The good news is we still have a little snow around! The great news is, we're no longer snowed in!! The bad news is our driveway is still pretty treacherous, though we can see a bit of gravel in even the roughest of areas now. PROGRESS!… Continue reading Weekend Six
