The Burning Bush
Our backyard neighbor just sold their house… yes, it’s a Rummer too (1 of 4 in our neighborhood.) They put it on the market Friday and it went pending Sunday (with multiple offers.) We did get a chance to go to the open house. Amazing. And the yard was so...Dad’s are so helpful
My dad has great timing. He called the other night and could tell we were stressing too much on the house stuff. So he said he was on his way over.Figured he’d be in paint clothes and ready to do construction… not exactly.He rolls up in a the Corvette...Faith, Trust, and a little bit of CONCRETE DUST!
OK, it’s taken me a while to actually document the painful progress on our concrete floor project. It’s disappointing… not what we expected. The concrete grinding is good in theory, but definitely much more dirty than we thought.Here’s the...Glass is in!!!!
The glass finally arrived this morning. It’s in and beautiful. Now all we need is a good squeegee… or better yet, a house keeper that does windows (’cause we’ve got a lot of them now.)THE PROJECT

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
Steve – Writes commercials, plays drums and tennis (often with vintage rackets), and digs MCM style.
Haley – Is an amazing graphic designer and lady-boss, is developing an obsession with travel, puts up with noisy band practices, and also digs MCM style.
Steve was born in SoCal, raised in NorCal and has lived in the Great Pacific Northwest for many many years. Haley was born and raised nearby in NE Portland.
Together they’re attempting the seemingly impossible; to bring this great house back to its MCM Grandeur and raise two nutty kids (who are now adults!) …and not drive each other crazy in the process!
Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
