The End, But Also A New Beginning
After nine years of writing about the Red House and the so-called “project,” I have decided to end the blog. I approach this not with regrets but with many happy feelings about how we took a run-down, bank-foreclosed property and … Continue reading

Travel Stories And Other Tales From The Red House
Our long summer vacation is unfortunately coming to an end at the Red House. I feel that Lynn and I have accomplished much this summer both travel-wise and project-wise on the house. We did two road trips this summer. The … Continue reading

The Beginning Of Our Eighth Red House Summer And A Shout Out To All “Bowling Bob’s” Wherever You Are
This past June started our eighth summer at the Red House. Since this was the first summer that Lynn didn’t have to go back to work (hint: he retired last October), I managed to save a good chunk of vacation … Continue reading

Believe It Or Not…
Our kitchen is done. Well, except for a single windowsill that needs to be painted. The goal this past fall was to have contractor #3 do “indoor” work during the cold snowy winter months. It wasn’t like there was a … Continue reading

The Final Floor
It’s now shortly after 1 p.m., the smoke alarm has gone off twice and we’ve already blown the same fuse (upstairs bedroom where all the big boy toys are apparently being used simultaneously) twice as well. Did I mention I … Continue reading

Let There Be Light (And Siding, Too!)

The Red House Gets A New Set of Clothes (And A Hot Water Heater, Too)
A few weeks ago we came up to the Red House to start “prepping” for the siding that would finally be put on the house. I made the mistake of driving into Manhattan to pick up Lynn from work which … Continue reading

The Red House Basement Floods Again…
This past July 4th weekend was spent unfortunately eerily similar to July 4th in 2013. Friday, before the long weekend, we endured a day of heavy rain only to find ourselves dealing with 4 inches of water in the basement … Continue reading

Our Seventh Summer at the Red House
