Just where have you been??

Yeah, we checked out big time on this blog over the summer/fall. But we were sooooo busy! And we have so many stories to share now! Now that daylight savings is over and it's too dark to garden after work, we have no excuse for not posting. So what exactly have we been doing?

Erin bought a house and has many stories to share about that.  She closed escrow while in Italy (prego!),  battled ancient rosebushes, learned the joys of working with contractors, discovered how not to paint a house, killed a geranium, visited every Home Depot in LA, and dismantled her kitchen faucet - remantling of faucet to be seen. 

I've started redoing my garage, and I will have many stories to share about that:
Why does my garage really need to be a garage? Oh you say there are zoning rules about that? Phooey. Revisiting rats vs. termites (the reckoning). How much shelving should I get vs. how much crap should I just throw away. And most importantly, is smashing up concrete really as fun as it seems like it would be?

Stay tuned for updates with your favorite home-improving conservators...
