From The Ground Up

With Winter showing its ugly side, it was time to start on inside projects. You might remember the basement when we bought the house in April...very creepy, and like the sign says...dangerous!
The project goals were pretty simple: repair the bottom step, paint & brighten up the basement, create bike storage and clean up the cement walls.

Don't Fall In

Our front porch leaves something to be desired, especially from the safety perspective.

With Halloween coming, we make a quick front porch "band-aid" by adhering sheets of plywood to the landing and step. We then painted them a deep gray. We also added a new front light with a dusk-dawn timer.


In the Spring, we hope to replace the front and back porches. Check out our "House-piration" set in Flickr.
