Sorry folks for our lack of posts. I wish I could say we have been busy working away on house projects, but alas, thats not the case. We did recently purchase a 1920’s butlers pantry and stripped most of the laquer paint off of the wood and hardware. Unfortunately, the summer heat is at its [...]

Our second project for Easter weekend was planting our blueberry plants from Waters Blueberry Farm. After two trips for Peat Moss and mulch (we underestimated the amount,) we have three plants that should yield blueberries all summer long!

The weather this weekend was gorgeous! Staying indoors would have been a crime. Instead we headed to Home Depot for a few plants and planters so we could begin our spring planting. While we have big plans for a garden and a nicely landscaped yard this year, we are still a few weeks away from [...]

We have had quite a winter in the South, so I thought I would share some pictures of our most recent snow. (We missed the first dusting while we were on our honeymoon, which we had hoped would also be the last dusting we would receive this year.) Alas, mother nature had other plans. The [...]

We posted awhile back that the burned up house across the street from us was purchased and that work had begun. We are pleased to announce that Ol’ Burney is almost finished being renovated. It has been converted from a double shotgun duplex to a single family home and has received a facelift. (Originally the [...]

Since moving in over a year ago, we have had a few neighboring houses fixed up and some new neighbors moving in. Still, our street has remained pretty vacant, especially the burned up house directly across the street from us. Its been up for auction many times with quite a few people who have supposedly [...]
