This evening, we worked on one of those very random “life on a farm” tasks that absolutely no one would even consider how, when, if, why or where this actually happens: trimming the ditches. While our farm is certainly rural – we only live about a 1/4 mile off of the closest blacktop road. While the county is typically responsible for …

Our bathrooms have tile! Like, on the floors and walls. It’s incredible. For the past two weeks, a crew from Renovation MD has been installing the tile in both our master and hall bathrooms. We went through many rounds of explaining our vision and getting bids from contractors. This team really stood out – both understanding what we wanted to …

We’re halfway through the second week of tile work and – hot damn – things are really coming together. Day-after-day, we’ve been thrilled with the work this team is doing. The quality is phenomenal and attention to detail is seriously incredible. We still have a little way to go to finish things up this week – but both rooms officially have floor …

Everyone once in a while, we have a project on the farm that breaks my heart a little. For the most part, everything that we do is additive to what exists here. However, in the case of the pergola next to the pond – we had to get a little destructive. I can’t help but imagine that, at some point, the …

After a full week of progress on the bathroom tile, we were feeling like the actual champions of home renovation. Naturally, that meant we needed to get to a home show, stat. We loaded up the double stroller and picked up our kids from daycare on Friday – just in time to cruise to the West Bottoms and catch the annual …

In a wild turn of events, it’s time for tile in the renovation bathrooms! Our installers arrived on Monday and have been working their magic to prepare the master and hall bathrooms for their respective tiles. When this whole project kicked off, we were overwhelmed. We had a few contractors come in to bid that were on polar ends of …

We have 12 new goats. That’s 25 goats total. If it wasn’t obvious before, it’s painfully obvious now that we don’t actually have the barn space to shuffle this many pregnant goats at one time. Our big aspirations for more stalls, more pens and – honestly – just an entirely new barn for the critters is going to take way more time …

No one – other than my therapist – continues to be surprised by the length of this ongoing renovation, right? Like, there are only so many “we’re still renovating!” posts that I can write before we’re just getting ridiculous. I, for one, chose to accept the fate of this neverending project we’ve moved into and claimed the front entrance of …

Our renovation is like the home DIY project that just won’t end. Despite the obnoxiously long timeline, it’s stunning. We’re taking our time and working through the frustrating delays one-by-one. Every little bit gets us that much closer to the finish line and – man, I could sit in our master and daydream about what’s to come all day long. With …
