REMOVING OUR PORCH SHUTTERS (FT. WASPS)

Posted on July 23, 2019December 9, 2021 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….

Posted on July 6, 2019December 9, 2021 by Megan

When we moved into our house, all four bedrooms remained relatively untouched apart from some hand-me-down furniture and a couple of framed pictures of our dog, Murphy.
