I recently purchased a plasma television to put on the wall of our home theater room. Originally, we had planned to put the plasma TV on the mantle of the fireplace, but when we took it home, the feet on the stand were too big for the mantle.
So, we had the bright idea of putting […]
I had the bright idea yesterday that I should move my office upstairs. You see, my office has been in the living room in our home for months now and the home office furniture has been taking up too much space (according to my wife).
So, she had asked me rather politely to move my office […]
We have been renovating our bathroom for some time (seems like forever when you do it yourself) and we are just about done. We are only missing one piece to finish it and then we can move on to another room.
So, today, we were out looking at bathroom vanities. There were many to choose from, […]
I was taking an introductory course in interior design and we learned a lot of interesting things that I never would have thought would belong in the course. I am not complaining, as I loved learning them and have put a lot of the knowledge to good use. For this class, it was not all […]
We have been having some problems with our outside door the past couple of weeks. You see, the door knob works some of the time, and those days that it doesn’t just are not that pleasant. Thankfully we do have a back door, but I have to walk through waist high snow to get there.

Well, we did […]
It was a sad day for me this week, when I had to let my old recliner go. I mean, I had the recliner given to me years ago by a college buddy, and it has been the most comfortable thing I have ever sat upon. But, my wife said that it was time for […]
I was talking to my brother who lives in New York on the phone last night. Just before Christmas, he found a new condo and they managed to sell their home, so they needed to be out of their house before January 1st. Being that this was a bad time of year for moving, they […]
Seems that my mailbox received its’ last piece of mail. We have had a plastic mailbox on the side of our home for a number of years and it has worked great. Thing is, we were not counting on the elements getting to it.
The other day, I went outside to check the mail and it […]
