Remember the Tour de Paint, click here, that we took recently in my new neighborhood? I went looking for paint colors that I liked. I had decided I wanted a gray color so I only took photos of gray houses. When I looked at my photos, I wanted to know what paint color was on […]
Siding, and Windows, and Doors oh my!
It’s beginning to look like a real house. Here the guys are putting up the siding. See? We’re going to have a covered back porch. It will be much smaller than the one at the ranch, but I’m not complaining. And look, windows. You might not be able to tell from the photos, but they […]
Update on Our New House
Yes, we finally have a roof on our house! Yes, I’m showing you the garage, but the roof looks the same on the house; I just couldn’t get a good angle to show it to you. And here are the windows. They are wood-framed, and I’m pretty excited about that. Here’s the living room […]
Meet my new Pedestal Tub
Having way overspent on the big boy, click here, I was determined to make at least a modest attempt to not go over budget with my plumbing fixtures. I brought Caroline along for moral support. MASTER BATH I know it looks like I’ve gone over again, but my builder says I’m not. Whew *wiping sweat […]

I thought you might want to hear about how it’s coming with our new city house, and here’s the latest. This is the back of the house. This is our new bedroom, much larger than our current one. And the photo above is our new kitchen. There’s going to be a wall of cabinets on […]
Feathering My New Nest
I know I told Mr. CH that I wouldn’t buy furniture for the new house, until we moved in. You know, like George on Seinfeld said, “It’s not a lie, if YOU believe it.” Yes, I believed it… really. But it turned out to be a lie. Well that seems like a harsh word, so […]
The Big Boy or what’s new with the new house
Things are really progressing with the new house, so much so that we are already making appliance selections. Just so you know, when I use the term ‘we’ here, I mean it in the royal sense. It’s just me; Mr. CH, thankfully, isn’t interested in making all of these decisions, so he’s letting me go […]
