Our old projection screen TV stood about four feet tall on its own base, but the new flat screen has no base. So we needed a stand to go under it. The set that our entertainment center belongs to has an available TV stand, but we never needed it before. Luckily, the furniture store still sold our set, and it was on clearance...

We did send out a Christmas letter this year, but I wanted to post it to the web site anyway. Who knows, maybe somebody who isn’t on our holiday mailing list would like to know what we were up to this year? If you’re not on our Christmas card list, and would like to be, please let me know! The “online version” is now...

Chrissy and I went door shopping over the weekend. We ordered two Mastercraft steel doors to replace our older double doors in the main entrance. The new doors seal tight like refrigerator doors, so we shouldn’t get any more drafts in the foyer. We also got two storm doors with the screen that slides down to replace the...

Kraz Construction came over to give us an estimate on replacing our aluminum siding. Replacing the siding on the house and the garage would run us $18k, down from a starting price of around $30k due to a current promotion. There was financing available (one year same-as-cash), so we went with the offer. It turned out that...
