There’s nothing more silly than someone giving you a quote for new cabinets for $12k more than what it would cost you to do it yourself. Before I started working on… Read More

A Condensed Version of My Weekend

This weekend we took full advantage of the amazing weather we’ve been having. Because we are just trying to soak it all in before we reach those summer months hit and we are all stuck inside.
