  Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to track down a place to purchase this wallpaper. Even though we've removed the wallpaper from every other room in the house, it has remained in tact in the foyer as we attempted to keep something original to the house prior to our arrival.  It was in pretty rough shape to begin with, as ...

  Today hosted some great events in downtown New Albany to take sneak peaks into current restoration efforts downtown.  I must say, the building at 213 Pearl Street is amazing to look at.  Who would have thought all of that was behind the metal facade?   We then took a tour of the River City Winery, though, no photos from ...

  After a marathon (there's a pun only a geek will get) session of digitally developing photos, I'm finally caught up.  Word of warning, no photos of Justin in this post, as those are now signed, sealed and delivered and are now in Tabitha's hands, so you can harass her for those (for which she'll probably point you to her Flickr page ...

Yeah, it got here much sooner than I expected, and needless to say, I burned up my lunch break pretty quick.  My favorite part, I must say, other than the exaggerated depth of field, is that it rocks at photos under natural lighting, so it makes it much easier to catch the dogs sleeping :) Carson Sleeping    Anna ...

How do you win a video format war?  Create your own format and thumb your nose at the group that was created to avoid a format war, and then with your own format, buy out and pay off the content providers so there's no choice for consumers to decide.

I'm currently smack dab in the middle of the process of stripping about 5 layers of paint off of the bathtub exterior (including all four legs). Here's a nice before shot of a leg:   Then here's the 3 hours worth of work later:   I seriously don't look forward to doing the rest :P

With work on the exterior of the house nearing completion (though, no where near complete, just a state of completion forced upon us by weather and what funds we have available to us), we've decided to let our insatiable urge to live in a construction zone take hold once again. Operation: Bathroom Demolition has begun. Our bathroom has become ...

You know, when you have to unzip the door to get out :P We are thinking about adding some blood splatter and caution tape to spice it up for Halloween :D 

You can cover anything :)  That seems to be the case on the front of our house.  Work has started on the scraping, patching, and painting on the front of the house (and currently, the house looks perfect for Halloween, which matches our Blair Witch cellar).  We've been finding all kinds of detail in the window trim work that we had ...
