It has been a while......
Yes, I have been working on the house this whole time. I looked at my last post... August 22ish, 2012, which is 2.5 years ago!
You know what happened? That week I met the love of my life. Solo activities such as blogging fell to the wayside. She and I got married in September 2014, and she now puts just as much time into this house as I do these days! (Gay marriage is now legal in where we live, hooray!)
So from now on the projects documented most likely had (quite a bit of) help from my wife. Like this one...
Project: Geothermal Room
Approximate start & completion date: 5/26/2014
We wanted to liven up the basement room that the geothermal heat pump lives in. It doesn't have much of a purpose besides tool storage, but we have to walk through it to get to other rooms. Might as well make it look nice.

| Again, not afraid of the dark colors. Natural woods, chocolate brown, bamboo green, chalkboard paint. |

| You can see the mess in the basement- we are still working on many projects! |

| Always going to Home Depot... |

| Light switch gets an upgrade |
 |
| The corner, it all comes together |
 |
| The shelves are cut from timber from our own backyard. Yes, we chainsawed them. We use a Timberjig to cut the boards. |
 |
| All bark, no bite. |
 |
| This is now one of my favorite rooms. We love honeycomb patterns. |
