New roof

So the blog fell on the back burner. Mostly because nobody reads it and also because I barely have time to do anything these days.

We finally finished the roof. It is gray with shake-like comp. shingles. I like it. We used Roofing America. Great company and fast workers. They did a great clean-up job. The only problem was the workers tried to get away with not installing the vents. Once I pointed it out, the owner quickly had it fixed.

Christmas!!!!!


This year, I am having my first-ever holiday party. That means I have been working hard to get the house in decent shape by Thanksgiving weekend.

So far, we have installed some new coat hooks from Rejuvenation in the hallway, installed new lights in the downstairs bath, installed a new ceiling fan in the sunroom and installed a new kitchen faucet (a huge nightmare). We plan on refinishing a door in the dining room, painting the hall and decorating, of course. All of this is on top of a full-time grad school schedule and a 30-hour a week internship. Ugh.

I think there are some photos of last year's decorating but I will post some more. This is my favorite time of the year.
