After a valiant struggle between Ewan, his dad and the sink, good was triumphant and a new faucet was installed! We decided that we like the green paint we used in the dining room so much that we’d use that color in the bathroom too. A new mirror, towel bar, curtain rod, cabinet handle, towel [...]

More Rain

It seems like all it’s done recently is rain. The city of Madison had its wettest month ever in August, with 15.18 inches of rain. The average rainfall for August is 4.33 inches, average rainfall for the year is 30.9 inches, and the last record for wettest month was 10.93 inches in July of 1950. [...]
Progress

Ewan and I decided that Agadez deserved a proper home to be introduced to. This meant several nights without sleep, as well as the need to decorate the living room even though it hasn’t had a second coat of paint. The result is that we have a livable home, and the ability to take a [...]

We’re finally completely finished with a whole room! Huzzah! That’s not to say we aren’t making progress on the other rooms too, but the bedroom is really done. There are more pictures from both before and after on our photo page. I even installed the remote for the ceiling fan, which means I don’t have [...]

Having never painted the interior of a house before, I am startled to learn how backbreaking the work is. I thought we’d have it all finished up and be settled by now! So far we’ve managed to finish the bedroom and the kitchen, which just leaves the office, living room, hallway, bathroom and dining room. [...]
Moving Out

Ewan and I are now mired deep in the process of moving out. It seems like the clutter will never end, mainly because it’s hard to see the progress when closets and furniture are being emptied and more boxes pile up. We did manage to make a spectacular furniture trade yesterday. Our old chairs which [...]
We Have A House!!!

Our offer on the house we liked very much in Madison got accepted today! There was stiff competition from two other offers but our neurotic lucky number prevailed. We have posted pictures on our photo page for Robin to show Lauren “right now.” It has lots of things we love, including a fenced in yard [...]
