Talking life, business and DIY with Bryan Baeumler

If you follow our blog, you know that it’s no secret that Kes & I are HGTV fanboys (or fanboy and fangirl, lol). So when Jennifer Flores recently approached us to ask if we’d be interested in interviewing Bryan Baeumler on behalf of BlogPodium, our reaction was something comparable to a teenage girl at a One Direction concert. I seriously had to re-write my email response to her three times to tone down the number of “OMG”s and “that’s amazing”s!

5 things you didn’t know about radiant heating

If you’ve been following along you know that we’ve finally got some walls up in this place & things are progressing.

Dreamhouse Update: Construction Progress Report [Video]

Things have been crazy busy lately – which you’ve probably gathered from our lack of blog posts in the last month. It’s been a bit of a struggle trying to strike the balance between our day jobs, being a parent to a 5 year old (Yes our little guy is FIVE now), working on the house, & staying on top of the blog, but we’re working on it.

Thankfully though – this time, our silence here hasn’t meant things over at the Dreamhouse have ground to a halt. Quite the opposite actually. Things have really progressed since our last update & we’re even starting to glimpse that light at the end of the tunnel. So rather than ramble on and on about all of the things that have been happening we thought it might be easier to share a quick video progress report so you can see for yourselves. Read more

Checkin in from #Workcation: First 3 days of DIY

This week Kes and I decided to take the week off to knock a huge DIY off our to-do list.  We’ll be installing our radiant in-floor heating system.  We’ll get into the full details of radiant heating in a more in-depth post in the coming weeks, but right now I just wanted to give you a quick glimpse into the fun we’ve been having so far… Read more

Dreamhouse update: Construction progress report

It’s been over a month  a loooong time since my last post and even longer since we’ve given you all a proper progress report on the Dreamhouse.  I wish I could give you some amazing reason why like Kes & I have been off traveling and having the time of our lives.  Or better yet that we’ve been keeping an epic secret & I’ve simply been too exhausted to write because I’m busy growing a human (a girl can dream right!?)… Read more
