Good Monday morning from Big Creek! It’s time for a little progress update on the renovation of our old country home! The newly re-framed sun room has been stuck in ‘pause’ mode for a couple of weeks now. The bare sheetrock and naked trim has been looming over us like a cloud. We bought the stain, […]
Isn’t remodeling a joy? At least we are getting awesome ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of our old country home. Yep, we are remodeling Big Creek! I have so much to share. First of all, check this out! That’s a far cry from the shiny, empty, cavernous dumpster I showed you before. Remember? That’s a […]
Roofing our old house is what’s been in the forefront of our minds since we moved here, because the current roof is just a conglomeration of layers upon layers of shingles on the original 115-year-old base. Scary. The past two weeks have been very noisy around here. Nearly every morning, I’ve been awakened at 5:30 am […]
We’ve been living in our new/old home since late November. We call the place Big Creek, and have for as long as I can remember. Our little farm sits right on the banks of Big Creek, one of our state’s beautiful little waterways, and my favorite swimming hole. We are gearing up to start […]
I have shared quite a lot about this old country home we live in, and I realize that so much of it does not seem very inviting. At times, I don’t even feel invited. We’ve hit so many snags in trying to begin renovations that I’ve begun to wonder if we’ll ever get to start, […]
I already showed you how amazing Coach was during his Spring Break, and how he transformed our shop buildings right before my eyes. Well folks, that’s not all. He is unstoppable once he gets on a roll, and I may be showing off for weeks to come from that one week that Coach was off! […]
I know last Monday’s post was a cliff-hanger, but you’ll forgive me, right? I’m nervous because Pooh, my oldest daughter, was so angry last night after watching the first segment of Mockingjay, she was spitting nails! I don’t want anyone to be that angry at me, but I think I’m pretty safe. Besides, I’m here […]
I’m not completely new to this world, as I have migrated a WordPress.com site to this one. I’ve been writing that one since August of 2013, and it’s been so much fun for me. I decided (during recent ice events that kept me trapped in the house for two days…for the third time this winter…in […]
It’s March again! This is cause for much celebration, because March is the beginning of the end of winter here in The Deep South. It certainly doesn’t mean that winter is over..done..kaput….just that there is an end in sight. Daylight Savings Time is a week away, and that is definitely something to write home about! […]
I had the best day off a few weeks ago. It was 19 degrees outside (that was the high), and these amazing fellas came over and got started on our tree removal. We had to get rid of some, as I explained here some months ago. It was the most fascinating thing I’ve ever watched! […]
