Note To Self – Check Tax Codes
Brooke here: With deadlines looming, I’ve done nothing more exciting than clean. Well, in this house, “just cleaning” means I’ve qualified for a spot on the U.S. Competitive Danger Mopping Team, but it rather pales in comparison since Elizabeth has gone and built an entire room. The washer and dryer hookups are in the basement, […]
Careful, That’s A Load-Bearing Chessboard
Brooke here: While working in the Labyrinth, Elizabeth and I explored the future wine cellar. Brown and I had done little more than glance in and shiver, but there was some interesting stuff in there.

The New, Improved Labyrinth! (Sans Bowie)
Brooke here: Yesterday I spent a good bit of time on a roof repairing water-damaged wood and Brown was below replastering drywall, but neither of these were at the new house so they don’t count.

The rest of the room didn’t really match the floor, though. […]
Shriveled Wrecks of Flesh

Over a hurried sandwich, I tried to explain to Elizabeth that Brown and I have been throwing ourselves into various home improvement projects since early April and it’s frustrating to still not see the […]

Back In My Day, Gnomes Used To Push Electricity Uphill. Both Ways.
Brooke here: The entire weekend has been spent fixing things that shouldn’t have needed fixing. I made the mistake of spilling some paint on the floor of my office, and the rag I used to clean it up came back black. Swell. I called around for estimates on deep-cleaning wood floors and the lowest was […]
