So, a little explanation about the house.  Chris has completely ripped out the ceiling in the kitchen and living room because he is planning on creating a cathedral ceiling in those two rooms.  It will open up the space nicely, but is definitely adding a lot of work.  It will be several weeks before we have a ceiling, and then we'll feel like we're getting somewhere with our home.  But until then, we plug away...


I learned how to use a power-washer this weekend!  Don't be fooled by the grin; I was actually quite a baby and whined maybe a little too much about getting my pants wet.  But now we can say that our house is no longer covered in mildew (I can't take credit for it - Chris did all the hardest parts like a good man should).

He also installed deadbolts on all three doors leading outside.  Now that no one can break in, this means we can't either - guess we'll have to start remembering to bring a key!
