It’s Homecoming Day! ♥️🖤 Moving out of y It’s Homecoming Day! ♥️🖤

Moving out of your hometown is cool, but moving back and having your own kids go to school here is pretty cool too. 

And can someone help remind me to take this same picture of them every year until they don’t think our old letter jackets are cool anymore? 🤣

Ever wondered what a ceramic tile shower looks lik Ever wondered what a ceramic tile shower looks like before the finishing touches?  Here it is! 

These types of showers are a popular part of bathroom remodels (and new houses too!) these days.  They're stylish, they allow some creativity with choosing tiles, and they can be made handicap accessible too with no curb at the floor which is perfect when we're helping homeowners make decisions to help them age in place. 

The orange color you can see here is the waterproofing system that goes on under the tiles.  Once this is ready to go, it's time for the finishing touches! 

This shower work is being done by: Danz Flooring Innovations LLC

With spring break in the rear-view, are you thinki With spring break in the rear-view, are you thinking about planning a summer vacation? 

If you're looking for something fun where you don't need to trek all the way across the country to feel like you're a world away, I just published a post on our last summer's spur-of-the-moment trip to the sand dunes of Michigan! 

I will post the blog link in my bio if you want to check it out!

Can I get plans drawn up for my new home or remode Can I get plans drawn up for my new home or remodel project without committing to a general contractor? 

Why do builders get paid a general contracting fee?

Last week I asked for your help in putting together a list of questions that you'd want to ask a general contractor about building.  There were so many good ideas and so many that I want to cover that I had to split this up into a few different posts. 

The first one is linked in my bio!  It’s all about those questions that are just slightly uncomfortable to ask... maybe a little awkward, but questions that you need to know the answer to to be an informed building client.  Check it out!

Happy Fri-yay! I need your help! I'm working on Happy Fri-yay!  I need your help!  I'm working on a new blog post for next week all about the beginning stages of building a new home.  I want to talk about how to start from square one.  For people who have never built a new home before, there are probably hundreds of questions that they'd like to ask before they even get the process started.  So, tell me...

What questions do you want to ask a builder? 

It can be anything from how much does a new house costs these days to what happens if I overspend?  I want to know what's running through your mind.  Comment here or send me a message and I'll put together my post next week to answer all of the anonymous questions.  Thank you!

This was one of those weekends where when we got t This was one of those weekends where when we got to Sunday night we felt so accomplished because we were tired, the kids were exhausted, and even the dog was sound asleep by 8pm!  The spring air had us out hiking, bike riding, and going for walks, and it just felt so nice to be THAT kind of tired - "spring-tired" that is. 

... and I can't wait until the grass is greener, the sky is bluer, and our house looks a little more like this.  But the temps this weekend are telling me that it won't be long now.
