inside the ugly

I've had a lot of work to do on the house as of late. We're finishing an unfinished room on the 3rd floor for our bedroom. I'm at the priming for paint stage, already passed the insulate, run wires, install outlets, drywall, tape, spackle steps.
I've fit in some outdoor time too, cobbling together a backyard patio of sorts.
Nope, no pictures, have to keep up the aura of mystery! But for those of you who have been through it, you know...
On another note, I've figured out how to send emails from my dumb phone (it's not a smart phone, you see...) so I really need to get back to posting.
