Three Hundred and Sixty-Four

Just shy of a year ago we essentially dug a moat around our little 900 square foot house.

We thought about just letting it fill up with water and buying a little raft to float around on, but instead we did this:

In some ways it seems like yesterday, and in other ways (cough-living in a garage-cough) it seems like eternity.

We’re going to be spending the next several days doing the same thing we’ve been doing for the last year whenever we have a few minutes of free time– working on the house. Expect to see progress from our working vacation over the next couple of days, and a more detailed look at the highs and lows over the last year to celebrate our “demoversary.” (Thanks to Chezerbey for coining that phrase, I love it.)

  3. You are amazing! I love the pic of you in the hole. Y’all didn’t uncover any cool artifacts or treasures in there did you?

  4. Wow – it’s so beautiful. I love the rooflines and the huge deck-to-be. And yeah, that a great picture of you in the hole!

I'm not interested in a mediocre life. I'm here to kick ass or die.

THE STORYTELLER

Back in 2004 I started writing about my adventures in fixing up houses on the internet. A lot of things have changed since then, with me, with my houses, and with the internet. These days I am basically a cranky old man trapped in a slightly less old woman’s body. The internet has changed and I am staunchly refusing to change with it. You won’t find any algorithms here, or feeds, or ads, or social media. Just good old-fashioned stories about a woman drinking beer and building shit, and living an unexpected life.
