Wallboard for Christmas (part 2)

by

On Monday, I shared all the details about getting ready for insulation. Phew. I left off sharing our Christmas miracle. In the form of a boom truck loaded with wall board. Who needs a sleigh, Santa? Lame. And just like that, they were off to the races. Luckily for us, my dad arrived home for the holidays […]

Plumbing, insulation and wallboard for Christmas (part 1)

by

When it came to insulation for the new house, Ryan was convinced. We were going with spray foam insulation. Open cell insulation would help the home be super tight (no drafts or energy waste), meaning our home would be even more efficient. You know how Meghan Trainor is all about that bass?

Floors on our new front porch

Oh, hey. Remember that one time we were building a house? Oh. Yeah. That. I keep wanting to share things that are happening, but all the work isn’t really “blogworthy,” per say. Like all the electrical work that Ryan and the dads have been doing – it’s obviously super important to have things like working […]

Hanging wreaths on the windows – dreams do come true

by

Our new house isn’t done, but that doesn’t mean I can do totally impractical things like add wreaths to all the windows. Once I got them in the windows, I told Ryan that dreams really do come true. Because I’ve always wanted to put wreaths in the windows. And now I’ve done it. Dream big, friends. […]
