this old house

Contrary to the way it might seem when viewed through this blog, our lives are not entirely filled with fiber- and glass-related activities. 

Sometimes we also play with wood.

(Scungy, raggedy old doorway on world's ugliest porch, before.)

(Rehabbed door, scavenged pretty doorknob, new clapboards and trim. Ahh.)


And sometimes we play with hot, bendy metal. Well, Jesse does.

But there's usually a little fibery fun going on somewhere 'round here too. :-)

look! it's a wall!!

A journey of a thousand miles
begins with a single step.

Who knew that, after 15 years of working on interior renovations, a few freshly primed clapboards on the exterior would cause such elation?!

Can you imagine when we actually paint it?! Squee!!
