snow on logan ave.



Our little home
Second big snow storm of the year here in Asheville.

Wild Hawk Gang
We repainted the dining room and  got curtains...oh so exciting.



Remodel numero dos.
The kitchen was the first big project, but now we are reaching the end of the backroom remodel.  Once what was a leaky dark, undersupported room is now a well insulated, freshly drywalled, wonderful place...minus the smell of burning paint.

Life Safety Yo


We are officially in the yellow house!  We got our life safety letter and are almost all moved in...in addition to that the kitchen is almost complete and we have brand new floors!

Let's take a trip down memory lane.

Who remembers when the kitchen looked like this?
Or this?
Maybe this?
Whoa! Kitchen of Today!
We cut the countertop ourselves and mounted it.
Gabe's Island.

Ok now for the floors.

Floors of the past.

Holy cow right!?


We still have to paint, dig french drains, gutterize, and all sorts of other fun projects...but there is always this...

green update

It was not only the weekend of the green river race but also the weekend of the green kitchen.

New Appliances (which I never thought I would buy ever)


Which green will it be...






Yeah we weren't messing around...when I said green, I meant green.   Stay tuned for more kitchen mayhem.


mountain view and all



life in disorder

So this is our mountain view...yes you can only see it in the winter when the leaves fall off or if you climbed onto the roof in the summer, but we do have a little piece of the Appalachians in or back yard.

And on the 13th day we said let there be water...

We have water!  People are free to wash hands, drink some fine agua, and poop freely!

ditch digging party




We spent the past two days digging this 2 foot deep trench for the new water line.  I am sore and tired, but we were still strong enough to take some pictures.



Thanks to all those who helped both physically and morally.


curtain fancy.
