Happy Friday! The rain has not let up in my neck of the woods, so I’m cheering myself up by looking at bathroom ideas. As I mentioned in the latest blog, the projects are shifting from the exterior to the master bathroom/en suite. Nothing...
As summer turns to fall, the DIY home renovation at #L2HQ continues. We've had a very wet summer here in Indianapolis, which has affected both the painting contractor and my side of the exterior project work - ultimately affecting the entire...
