Grumble, grumble, grumble. As I finally sit down to write a post, mainly spurred by two new house events (Scott put the silt fencing up yesterday and he’s currently in the basement cutting concrete, which is a little worrisome), it is 71 … Continue reading →

Posted on September 7, 2013 by Janet Vrasic

Knobs and a Rather Inconvenient Dumpster Encounter

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Janet Vrasic
