I haven’t posted in a WHILE. What of it!? It was a fun weekend. Erin had her friend Hillary over to shoot some house pics. So the house was nice and clean! After they did their thing, I did a couple-a pics.

Fence Progress – April 18, 2011
The guys wrapped up most of the finishing touches on the fence project during the weekend. Erin and I are really excited about how good it looks. The front slat screen went up yesterday afternoon. As we pulled back in to our driveway from the White Rock Home Tour, we saw the completed screen for… Continue reading Fence Progress – April 18, 2011
Fence Update – April 10, 2011
Lots of things going on at the house this weekend. The fence is officially 60% complete, and we are super excited to see it all come together. I took off early on Friday and installed 2 3’X3′ steel raised beds. The tomato plants look like they are struggling. I may need to tweak the soil… Continue reading Fence Update – April 10, 2011
Fence Update – April 1, 2011
Yes, I understand that it’s April Fool’s day. But I’m posting this anyways. Whatever! Now that the posts are in on the East side, pickets are going up. I think they’re going to finish the rest of the posts over the weekend and try to finish one or two sides with pickets. The images below… Continue reading Fence Update – April 1, 2011
Fence Update – March 27, 2011
Today marked more progress on our fence project. I pitched in on post and picket staining work. Now that the back posts are in, the backyard is finally starting to feel like it has a boundary, a defined space. Above: same shot, just from the other side. Above: we don’t want the ugly gas meter… Continue reading Fence Update – March 27, 2011
Fence Progress – March 24, 2011
Willie and MartÃn arrived yesterday and did some fence post work. Since we’re building our fence up against the neighbor’s falling-down janky fence, we have to pre-stain some of the wood. That’s where I come in to play! I helped pre-stain last night’s fence posts and followed up on the already-cemented posts, staining the remaining… Continue reading Fence Progress – March 24, 2011
Fence Update – March 21, 2011
We have contracted with Erin’s co-workers (who work full-time jobs, so they work when they can) to build a fence. I will post pictures as work continues over the next few weeks. Hopefully, we’ll have it completed sooner than later. Since we’re using our part-time contractors, the project will take longer. However, I’m hoping that… Continue reading Fence Update – March 21, 2011
Succulents 2.0
Some time during the two mega ice storms, we lost our succulent plants. It’s sad to see any plants keel over. We had them covered with a towel, but our plants lost the battle to the bitter cold. We are still figuring out what to bring inside when it freezes. Rookie move! Nevertheless, I have… Continue reading Succulents 2.0
Dallas News Article
Erin and I were featured in The Dallas Morning News! We are so proud to get such a nice article on us and our house. Honestly, the article is more about Erin and her decorating, and I’m totally cool with that. No big deal! One for the Ages: Casa View homeowners meld old and new,… Continue reading Dallas News Article
