I really want to post some of the pictures of the projects I’ve been doing around the house but everything is kind of half done and total chaos. It’s like I just moved in except now I have 11 years of crap! The good news is, my two month long level two charger has finally … Continue reading Level 2 Chargepoint Home installation
My House
My Lightbulb Moment, Literally.
On a personal side note, before I write about what I was going to write about today, if anyone has any tips for getting rid of laryngitis please let me know. My voice went totally out last night and I’m freaking out about it not being healed before the Ridgebacks & Friends San Diego Yardsale … Continue reading My Lightbulb Moment, Literally.
Two planners needed a fence
This sounds like the start of an awful joke I know. For all of the light hearted jabs I make about my neighbors, I live in an awesome neighborhood and have the best neighbors on my right/south side ever.

As I've said in the past my neighborhood is great, there are a lot of people who have lived there for a long time and in general look out for each … Continue reading Combating Common Little Free Library Issues
Termites!
This is quite possibly the scariest word for any homeowner. I've been lucky so far, I haven't needed any termite work done since the house was purchased in 2007. Weird markings on my hardwood floor started showing up; I usually blame it on the dogs but these markings would be hard to prove it was them. … Continue reading Termites!
70s Pyrex, Curtains and Ugly Washer Hookups
On Thursday night, I received a Facebook message from a stranger whom I purchased some Pyrex from off of my local Buy/Sell/Swap Facebook page last month. She still had a few pieces leftover from her onslaught of buyers and wanted to know if I wanted to take a look at the remaining pieces and buy … Continue reading 70s Pyrex, Curtains and Ugly Washer Hookups
