We haven't posted here in a while. Perhaps you thought that we were so busy fixing up the house, we just didn't have time to get on the web and write about it. You would be so wrong if you thought that.
There hasn't been much house activity since last spring. Come summer, we found ourselves constantly traveling to bachelor/bachelorette parties, weddings, funerals - there weren't many open weekends. And then we got a dog, who has become a fantastic excuse for procrastinating about anything.
There were a few little projects here and there, and more plastering and sanding of the master bedroom, but when the summer hit, it became too uncomfortable to work in that room. We managed to get new sheet rock up on the ceiling (worthy of its own post some day), but that's about it. And to be honest, after sanding or hoisting sheet rock for several hours, the last thing either of us wanted to do was write about it.
Perhaps another reason for our failure to update the blog is that we were trying to write an entire essay for every post. Our draft folder is filled with half-written epics we became bored with before finishing. Some of them will end being salvaged, I'm sure, but I think the key is to keep things short and to the point. Installing a dimmer switch does not warrant 5,000 words.
If we can put together a little post at least every week or so, we'll be happy and you'll be kept up to date. So stick this in your RSS reader and check back with us every once in a while; if you don't see anything new, feel free to harass us in the comments (as some of you have already done). We don't mind the encouragement.
Stick THIS in your RSS reader, bub.
