We have a large dead space on the stair landing. (I’ll post pictures when I get them.) It’s the front of the house, under a big window, so there’s lots of light, but it’s currently just an empty ledge a … Continue reading
With the nasty weather we’ve been having, a lot of the reno is being held up. We need to hook up the house to the gas line (until now it was on oil heat) but we can’t until the ground … Continue reading
