Home And Garden
One thing this house will never have enough of for me is flat space. But then, I’m an agent of chaos and any flat space within about a mile of me immediately becomes Covered In Stuff, so… take that as you will. And one thing this house has a lack of is places to put [...]
We finally got some rain this week. My ‘maters were very happy. The rest of my 2011 daily photos can be viewed here.
Tim indulged my idea of repainting the bathroom, and a couple weekends ago he took everything off the walls and started in – here are some “before” photos. I wanted a color that both went with the pink tile (which we don’t feel up to replacing right now) but didn’t sort of… point to it, [...]

Let me just tell you for a second… how completely, 100%, kick-ass my girlfriends are. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM. Or, rather, LET ME SHOW YOU THEIR AWESOME POWERS. See, you may or may not know, but my front yard has gone beyond “that natural look” into “holy shit, is there a house behind that?” [...]
