It feels like this basement project has lasted forever with very little actual change, but now things are really starting to come together. We actually have the shower totally tiled! First a bit to show just how much WORK this tile part has been. First I had to remove all the blue tiles… I decided [...]
Now that the walls are up and sanded and then primed, we can start to tackle the mosaic tiles for the shower and floors. We knew we wanted to use a mosaic glass and decided the collections from Modwalls were the coolest in our price range. I ordered samples of the below “Brio Blends” mosaics: [...]
Guys, I hate to break it to you but most of us girls are actually pretty easy to shop for… you just need to know where to look Here are some present ideas for the woman in your life (wife, mom, sister, anyone) for less than $150 that are most likely to NOT be [...]
The title says it all, after 11 years of dreaming and thinking it wasn’t possible… I ran a marathon! The morning started out like any other race, leaving the house a little later than I’d hoping, not finding parking near by, walking quickly through 10 blocks in the dark to find my starting point.

We were excited to slap some walls up in our bathroom. After all the patches and blending old and new parts of walls upstairs we figured it should be quick and easy to start fresh with just drywall and studs right? Nope. Creating solid walls is hard no matter how you approach it! I’ll approach [...]
We finally finished the plumbing lines for the bathroom. Add to that the electrical bones and all the framing and it’s equals time for the second inspection!! So here is the pic of the final framed room. Pocket door on for the entry. Shower in the far corner, toilet right next to it. The sink [...]
I was pretty sore from Hood to Coast and definitely had to work a bit more in my runs on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Specifically my hip flexor (which I pulled in my first leg of H2C) and next to my achilles tendon were really hurting. I could deal with the pulled muscle, but [...]
Surprise! I got on to a Hood to Coast team on Tuesday… the race is Friday! Needless to say I didn’t have much time to shop and plan for the big event, but after getting a checklist from the team captain and reading a bunch of blogs here is the list of what I took along [...]
