Knowlesville Posted on November 29, 2011 by MattNovember 30, 2011

Trevor, our part time cat, first showed up at our house in the fall of 2002. We call him our part time cat because he’ll show up religiously every day for a few days, and then we won’t see him … Continue reading →

Painting the Bay Window

The right bay window is nearing completion and the scaffolding came away. Next on the list is reparing the panels under the windows. The trim that is still green isn’t original. I’m guessing that after the earthquake the trim on … Continue reading →

The average vole only lives 3-6 months, and with Artie around, that can be reduced significantly. He’s been a hunting terror lately so we decided we’d keep track for the month. So far, this was the second kill of the … Continue reading →

Warning
