To go along with the new garage roof, (e:paul) and I finally replaced the broken glass window.

He got real into it - we ended up jigsawing a craft store stick in half to use as window trim. It looks good, and I finally feel like we can keep stuff in there.

We went to Hardware for Emily's birthday. Carrie and I tried to get them to play Taylor Swift but failed. Still danced our tailes off though.

We got to eat with our new bike friends (e:terry) and I made the week before.

We got a phone book on the porch today. It still boggles my mind that they feel the need to publish them or even could make a profit on it. My parents don't even use one anymore. Shouldn't it be an opt in program?


Straight to the recycle pile

Despite the new roof on the garage, water was still coming in through the base of the garage. I think it's because the yard is all sloped towards the back of it, where the water runs off.

So (e:paul) and I went to the hardware store got an aluminum gutter, and installed it, all in a few hours. The hardware store was the worst part of it. We ran the hose on top of the garage for a bit and it worked perfectly.

Right now all we have to do is get a water barrel, since there's no good spot to drain in the backyard. I think we can get one from Riverkeeper.

Tinier food is fancier, therefore better, right? (e:paul) and I made these grilled cheeses out of (e:mikes) stale loaf of break. Too bad we only had enough for two. Yum.
