Sisyphus No More

WE DID IT! Oh my goodness, we have officially finished the last of our rock walls and it feels so good….well mentally it feels so good…physically we are sore and tired. So, as a quick recap, here is how the rock walls have gone over the last 6-7 years. 2016 We finally experimented with some…

Easter Weekend Project 4 – House Upper Level Painting

The final project that we completed on the Easter Weekend is one that I had originally intended to do the weekend after Thanksgiving last year. Unfortunately, it was a very rough week and I didn’t end up getting a chance to get this project done. Then we got a puppy and there was no chance…
