It took a bit longer than I expected but I finally got the swing set put together. This thing is sturdy and build to last! I am so glad we went with a build it yourself model from the local lumber-yard vs a kit from one of the big box stores. We wanted one that […]
We had a super busy weekend. Along with Mother’s Day, we spent most of Saturday cutting, mitering, and nailing up some more trim pieces on the kitchen pass through project. More on that later. And if we didn’t have enough projects going on, we finally settled on a swing set for the kids. Not just […]
We are making some good progress on the kitchen pass through project. Phase II is complete and we are now ready to begin the corner moldings. But first, here is a brief recap on how we got to where we are. After removing the trim along the inside of the pass through along with the […]

I just realized that I got so wrapped up in our Board and Batten project that I forgot to update the Door Jamb replacement job that I did! As stated earlier, I had to do this repair because the previous owners had used wood putty to cover an old metal plate and that plate was […]
It’s done! It took awhile to complete as our schedules are really crazy right now but it’s done and we are very happy with how it turned out. I will be writing up a full tutorial as time permits but for now, I just wanted to get this out there for all to enjoy. 🙂 […]
Slowly making some progress on our coat wall. Purchased 2’x4′ sheets of MDF at Home Depot so its taking a bit longer to put up and I have to actually cut each piece before I nail it to the wall. I’m also applying some wall compound to the edges in order to help with the […]
