Chipmunks in Trees

Posted on October 27, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

Honestly, I didn’t know they climbed trees. Did you? Maybe I just never noticed. But this year, during the acorn fiesta at the Oak Tree and birding feeding station outside the kitchen window, there they were. Up the tree, on the … Continue reading →

Duck, Duck, Dog, No Duck. Doorbell? No, It’s Arrested Development.

Posted on June 10, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

It’s official. I’m a slacker. (Some of you already know this). Almost a full month since my last post, it’s a little embarrassing. Not that I haven’t had plans to write, I mean, I’ve been taking photographs quite a bit. … Continue reading →

Knobs and a Rather Inconvenient Dumpster Encounter

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

Just so we’re clear about something: if there is a large construction dumpster on your driveway, someone is going to hit it. It’s a fact, and it’s simply just a matter of time. Frankly, I’m surprised it took this long. … Continue reading →

Another Day, Another Dumpster

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

It’s a good thing, too. We’ve got this micro-sized trash can, (it holds two bags of trash) but this ginormous recycling can (no complaints there). I really need to call Groot and get that sorted out soon. But project-wise, this … Continue reading →

There’s No Place Like Home. Again.

Posted on April 27, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

The original intention was to write a post titled “The Final Countdown”, signaling 7 days until our move in date. It was going to be witty, filled with clever Arrested Development references (GOB!!) and complete with a link to Europe’s … Continue reading →

Chaos and Madness, a Green Thumb, and a Countdown

Posted on April 10, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

I should have taken a picture of the house on Friday, or Saturday, as it looked like we were having a huge party. You know, the kind you had in high-school when your parents were out-of-town? That’s right. We had … Continue reading →

One of These Things Is Not Like the Others

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

So I show up at the house yesterday to take delivery of our exterior stone. And as the delivery guy is putting the pallets on the driveway, I’m thinking to myself…..”Hey. This stuff here doesn’t quite match that stuff over … Continue reading →

Windows, Packing, and Moving…Happy New Year, Not So Much.

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

I’ve got nothing clever to say about packing or moving (well nothing nice, anyways), but the windows, well, I have to say, that was pretty interesting. The crew took a few days off for the holidays, and returned on the … Continue reading →

Oh My…We Have Shingles!

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

No, silly, not the disease. Roof shingles! On. The. Roof. Yay! My last post showed that they started building the roof, that was Friday the 14th. So this week, on Monday (the 17th), the local weather-folks (sensationalists, all of them!) … Continue reading →

Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day….But Our Garage Was (Almost!)

Posted on December 21, 2012 by Janet Vrasic

Ok fine, fine. Technically it was more like 4 days. And we have a little wiggle room as far as the definition of “built” goes. Once again, I’m a little slow on getting the construction update posted here (apologies), but … Continue reading →
