REPLACING OUR BASEMENT PATIO DOOR (DIY INSTALL)

Posted on August 6, 2020August 6, 2020 by Megan

This DIY project has been a long time coming. We ordered this patio door for our basement (along with the lumber for our mini shed and new basement windows) back in April. It was one of our “bored and in quarantine” impulse buys. Some people buy clothes and gadgets- we buy doors! I should also…

REMOVING OUR PORCH SHUTTERS (FT. WASPS)

Posted on July 23, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

There has always been a bit of a wasp problem on our porch, which is one of the reasons why we don’t spend much time out there. We’ve seen wasps casually fly in and out between the slats of our porch shutters, but other than occasionally spraying, we’ve never done much to manage the problem….
