I can't believe how time flies... it's been 18 months since I decided to start a blog, and 12 posts later, I have almost nothing to show for it. In any case, water under the bridge. I'd like to thank you for helping me to welcome a new year full of (hopefully) exciting opportunities. Last year was filled with many amazing experiences and accomplishments, especially amongst those close to me.

Now that school has begun things are totally getting out of hand over here (well, that and the patriots/red sox/nascar events on the weekends). I promise I'll be back soon to continue the saga that is the kitchen - though I have to find my camera under the pile of junk to bring you always thrilling shots of window install, drywall, tiling, cabinets, and the like. Just wanted to let you all know

No, we are not back to the future (though the thought of jiggawatts is reminding me of the post below)! We've been collectively dreading the thought of bringing up the required amount of blue board (sheet rock, plaster board, drywall, yada yada yada) since we wrestled with the few pieces required for our bathroom renovations over the past year. Funny how a house that was built prior to the

Work is essentially constant at the house lately, and I'm having a hard time naturally segmenting the projects into posts. I promise I will try to document everything, but I am sincerely sorry if some of it is out of chronological order! With the successful sign-off of our plumbing inspection, it was time to approach electrical. Thanks to the before-mentioned ghetto renovations by previous owners

Hello Virtual Friends!  Hands down the number one question we get about our renovation: "When is it going to be done?" DUHHHH - trust me you'll know, it'll be right around the time we aren't walking around like dust covered zombies, and actually return your phone calls Number two question: "How did you learn how to do this?" This question hasn't gotten any easier to answer, but after a little

Say hello to my new friend! Isn’t she a beaut?? Now I know you may think we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves here (like you really need a floor or walls to have a new fridge?!?!), but it was actually quite critical that we found a fridge early in the process. This is important because unlike stoves and dishwashers there are actually about 5,467,312 “standard” sizes of refrigerators ranging in

Sorry for the terrible delay in posting. Looks like this blog thing is not really for me, but I am doing my best. The work in the kitchen continues on an almost-daily basis, though visually it is getting harder to see progress. Here's a few of the things we've done lately...Finished removing all debris from the room. So far we are at 4,000lbs of building materials brought to the transfer station,

Hi everyone. Back from another hectic (but fun - and filled with people I love) weekend. I'd love to tell you all about it, but I really owe a post about the kitchen! So I'm sure you remember it in all its dingy black-and-white glory??? Well I'm proud to say that's totally gone. In its place? A large, cavernous dust cave. How appetizing! Now, if you're even 1/2 as obsessed as we are with HGTV (

Wow, what a great 4th of July weekend. The weather cooperated in a major way as we got a weekend of beautiful sunshine and a light sea breeze in Falmouth. I even managed to swim in the ocean, you know it must've been really warm (see below for proof!) I believe this picture was taken just AFTER Josh got in trouble with the lifeguard for a flip contest with the little girl on the platform.

I guess its not looking good for this blog so far! A week with no posting :-(  Anyway, in celebration of another great week here in MA let's talk about some exciting upcoming activities...July 4th!! Yes, this means cool beer, hot BBQs, and the beach. The weather report seems to be lining up well for the occasion. B (my better half) and I will be guests of the lovely Levy family! Josh and his

So it's only the first week and I'm already skipping blogging days. :(  But if you're one of the over 1 million estimated happy new owners of the iphone4 (like me), I do believe you'll forgive me. Frankly, most of yesterday was spent "dealing with" iPhone in many steps.Purchase iPhone4: As I was unable to pre-order the phone on the first day due to characteristically BAD planning on the part of

Trust me, there are many days when working for "the man" feels like being a single sardine in a giant ocean. There are also many days when I simply marvel at the amazing cafeteria, in-house bank, and olympic-sized swimming pool. Today is a special day because its the one day per year that my company announces the work I do to the world! So, without further ado here is the EMC Sustainability

Hello World! If you made it here, congrats, you're only about two clicks from the end of the Internet! I thought I would briefly introduce myself and explain the method of naming the blog. I'll post later on "why" I decided to start a blog, after I have a better understanding of exactly why that was. About Me: I'm 25, live in Boston, and participate in the following (note: this list is in order
