Isn't he handsome?
Oh wait, this is a post about our new (old) house.
Ahh, yes, Ken looks forward into our bright future...
Or he looks questionably at the painted shut window and wonders who the heck would paint a window shut.
This house needs love. Enter us. I'm heading to the library on Friday to get our original house plans from the 1940s (in the special collections section at the University of Baltimore).
Ken spent the weekend chopping down trees and replacing electric schtuff. I spent the weekend deciding what I don't want to do and will instead pay someone to do. Honesty, folks.
Sorry I've been so MIA. More to come...Soon...
XOXO
dude.
ha.
someone painted some of our windows shut, too.
i feel your pain.
and-- as e and i are apt to say-- it never hurts to throw a little money on the situation (read: gabby doesn't do home improvement)...
:P
xoxoxo,

Sweetie
You have learned well! My philosophy is --- why do anything myself if I can pay someone to do it?
And yes, Ken is soooo handsome and special.
Love, MOM

we didn't open our windows for the first 3 years we lived in this house.... had to replace them first.
and you know my feelings about 'work'.... i don't do manual labor. :) pay someone.
