Our Neat House: Porch Remodel: demolition of the old porch

Porch Remodel: demolition of an old porch. Join us on a home owner's project adventure. Demolition is fun. We got to know our house by seeing it from the inside-inside.

One of the things we had to do soon after we got the house was a porch remodel. We started by tearing out the old porch. We considered building right over it, but as it was in a corner that would mean the new porch might become unstable. Especially if the old one kept moving and tilting. So, the old one had to go.

Before we begin I have to thank my partner, Nathan, and my dad, Ray, for they…

My Dog's Running Face: Clipper loves a game of chase whether someone is chasing him or not! My dog's running face is not the most regal. It is unleashed and pure fun. He will go from handsome and stoic to full-on silly if I entice him to run with, to, or from me.

Our Neat House: new water heater

Our Neat House: new water heater. In October, '17 we bought a house. Here are the beginnings of our adventures with Our Neat House and becoming responsible home owners.

Our Neat House Introduction

Still, it is about time I start sharing how much love and energy we are putting into this precious property. I’ve always loved adobe houses so that was a huge selling point of this beauty.

We are lucky to have met several people who are…

Our neighbors that share this fence are amazing. They saw I'm dogging out these stumps, cleaning up, and working on the backyard too and offered to help! Neighbors along the back fence as well. We are letting them borrow electricity and working out a deal to take care of their compost. Can't speak enough good about good neighbors. :) #gardeninggoals #ailanthus #goodneighbors #homestead #yardtransformation #yardcleaning #treeofhell #lifenotdeath #birdsloveit #wormsloveit #lizardsloveit #bugsloveit #communityovercompetition #nopoison #poisonfree #organicgardening https://www.instagram.com/p/B9uUuUOl7fj/?igshid=1gfji54yj9dya

When you first move into your house and you need a wheelbarrow to move large rocks and logs and such but don't have money for one yet... you build one from yard scraps, of course!

Teaching My Dog To Eat Slow

Teaching My Dog To Eat Slow and why that is important to me.

“Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk

This article is how I went about teaching my dog to eat slow. In November of 2018, I adopted a year old shelter dog and named him Clipper. From day one it was clear that Clipper had some eating stress. He would scarf his food in one second. This did not seem healthy and I started Googling ways to teach him to eat slower.
