Google Nest Learning Thermostat installed on wall in entryway displaying 68 degrees Fahrenheit

WE BOUGHT A GOOGLE NEST THERMOSTAT

Posted on December 16, 2019March 6, 2023 by Tyler

For my birthday this year, Megan surprised me with a new Google Nest Thermostat! We’ve considered getting a smart thermostat since we moved in, but had always decided it was better to spend the money on something else.

BUILDING A PICTURE FRAME LEDGE FOR $20

Posted on December 5, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan

The set was handed down to us from Tyler’s family and hasn’t gotten much use (partially thanks to the wasps living behind our porch shutters). We decided to pick up some spray paint…

REMOVING OUR PORCH SHUTTERS (FT. WASPS)

Posted on July 23, 2019March 6, 2023 by Megan
