...and I thought last year my cleated tennis shoes would do the job on my multi-acre hillside, especially with a new self-propelled push mower. Not so! Even the propellation (is that a word?!) wasn't enough for this little girl. I used to watch my dad mow this entire yard, with seemingly little effort. Then he'd... Continue Reading →
I didn't see much of Andy over the weekend, and it was to be the last good spread before a nor'easter hit. One thing I learned from living in the snow belt is that, when you have a gravel driveway and the snow is less than 4" deep, sweeping it with a push broom is the... Continue Reading →
We're still in the library.

I used the brush and rollers from Construction Gear for everything, and they still look good as... Continue Reading →
I thought the laundry room would be the most disgusting room, but when I moved to the New Room, I saw I was wrong. Apparently the entire house is going to be a surprise like this. My parents had 3 birds and there were peanut shells and bird food under every single piece of furniture... Continue Reading →
During the week, I moved the hoosier from the laundry room to the kitchen. It feels very good to get things out of the house; I used four garbage bags during just a precursory cleaning and started a scrap metal box. We used two boxes for giving away. All week, the thought of how much... Continue Reading →
