The Post-it’s are back !

Adventures in homeownership (and projects) abound!

I’ve been light on writing because, well, turns out buying and house and starting a new job in a new time zone takes some work and energy.

Since moving into my house it has been a nonstop tempest of projects started and stalled, repeat trips to Costco and Home Depot, hundreds of mosquito and no-see-em bites, punctuated by the ocasional “win” (actually completing a project on the same day or weekend I started it). I can count all of my wins so far on one hand:

Wins

Mailbox makeover

Spray paint and 2 hours.

Frosted glass shower door

Spray paint, lots of blue tape, and 2 hours.

Motion sensor light switch in the garage

It comes on when I open the door from my house into the attached garage!

$12 and 10 minutes.

… that’s it.

Nothing else has been completed.
