Disco Inferno

Crystal and I threw an epic Halloween party at the Manfort. Tons of friends showed up in their disco finery and we had an awesome night.

Fixing the Door Sill

After building the new deck, the rear door sill needing replacing. I did the job with new treated lumber and plenty of liquid nail. No bugs or ice are getting in now!

New Deck

I'd been thinking of adding a deck to the back of the place for a long time. I built this one in 3 days in the scorching heat. But it was a fun project!

After sanding the last coat of mud, the drywall was ready for painting. Then some custom closet shelves and the new bedroom is complete!

Basement Remodel Part 2

In order to finish the drywall, Sarah and I had to move into the unfinished part of the basement. So I moved the dryer from across the room and rebuilt all the shelving units.

Basement Remodel Part 1

Now that Maizie gets the upstairs bedroom, it's time to retire the movie lounge and turn it into another bedroom. My building motto: "Do it right, do it once."

Sexy Dress-up Day Redux

This year for Sexy Dress-up Day, we had brunch at Maria's and then headed to the Manfort for mimosa's. Seven bottles of champagne later, we never made it to the MOA like planned, but had a great time being all sexy and stuff.

Conversion from Manfort to Lounge continues...

Major progress on the lounge conversion here at the Manfort tonight as I install the new hanging glassware shelf. Thanks to an awesome birthday, I now have lotsa new beverage holders. :) And bar accoutrements.

A quick trip to Home Depot to pick up another shelf, some chain, and a few hooks and the hanging glassware shelf is complete. The hangers are from Fantes.
