Hey Blogspots.
I realize that I haven't posted in about a month, I'll bet you have been just dying wondering what I've been doing with my life! Actually, a lot, but more about that in my next post.
For now, I just thought I would post some more house pics to update all y'all who haven't seen the house in awhile. We were busy little bees in September.

Believe it or not, we are still working on the dang trim. When you start from scratch and cut, sand, stain, and poly each little piece, you realize just how much trim there is in your house. Look around. It's everywhere. Anyway, although using raw 1x4s is a lot more work than just buying finished "trim" with the smooth rounded or beveled edges, it is less than half the price! I also love how substantial and rustic it looks in our little home.
