Adventures Without A Box Truck

Today was both victorious and sad. That's right folks. We sold the box truck. We successfully bought a box truck in California, fixed it up a bit with blood sweat and money, stored all of our belongings in it for 6 weeks, moved across the country, completed 2 dump runs, delivery of 700sf of hardwood flooring, drywall deliveries, sold the truck, and net spent less than the cost of gas to move across the country. Not bad.

Our beloved box truck will soon be on it's way to Honduras with a family that owns a small hardware store. 

 ¡Adios Box Truck!

Privacy Glass - Quick DIY Project

The shower in our main bathroom (the totally blue bathroom that will be remodeled before we are done with this house) has a window right in the middle.  The natural light is great and our backyard is big and jungle like so it's a great view. However across our backyard and through the jungle are other houses. As winter approaches many of the leaves will drop and the backyard ought to thin out. The window is placed a bit low so we decided to frost the bottom pane of glass. Great idea! We are very pleased with the final product.

This look was easily achieved by cleaning the glass, taping off the frame and using a frosted glass spray paint. We used a Rustoleum product but there are several options available.
