With Justin gone it has been quite the roller coaster these past couple weeks. The bathroom has been on hold for now, so it’s just an empty room with no walls taunting me. Mostly I have just been slowly moving out of the apartment, trying to get everything into the house. It’s been pretty slow [...]
Well it has been quite a long weekend. With Justin leaving our bathroom plans have changed quite a bit. He is not going to be back until July 16th now, so I’m not going to have a new bathroom until after the wedding. Sad face…

We still need to move the entire apartment though… We also attempted to fix the drizzling kitchen faucet. It had gotten blocked by the rust that formed in [...]
So I’ve decided to use this blog to log my homeowner experiences as the house (hopefully) transforms into something…livable…? Maybe I will actually write some things about it so that we have a record. Here is what has happened thus far:
