Last January, I wrote a post about my 2022 projects and plans, and roofing was on that list. We had the upper roof replaced in 2015 because the situation was dire. At that time, we knew we could put the porches and overhangs on the someday list. Then, last summer, I noticed that the hips…

I skipped writing a One Room Challenge post last week. The people-pleasing rule follower in me feels a little guilty, but I've created an unsustainable work-life for myself. Something had to give. If anything, I spared you the ho-hum of reading one more post about demo. The entire room unraveled as I uncovered more issues…
