    Affordable Whole House Water Filter System

    If you’ve heard of Camp Lejeune, there is a good chance it’s due to those running commercials about possible law suits for the water quality in the area. While the worst of that was back in the 80s, we were pretty sure our house would need a filtration system. It wasn’t until we were filling…

    Astronaut Galaxy Star Light

    Nothing like a coat of paint and some floating shelves to add visual interest to a boring water closet! This wasn’t a high priority project on the list of all the updates we wanted to do to the house, but it was a super easy one to tackle, so we knocked it out early on.…

  • Swingset

    When we moved to North Carolina, we began the search for another swing set. While we liked the one we had in Virginia, our hope was to get something a little bit bigger, with more to appeal to our growing kids (ages 3 and 7 at the time that we moved). Our requirements: We opted…
