The House Keys: Bookcase
http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2010/11/bookcase.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Saturday, November 13, 2010. Anyway, I thought I might write a couple of posts to show some of the projects we've knocked out in the last couple of months. For starters: the built-in hallway bookcase. But - no more!

The House Keys: May 2009
http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Saturday, May 23, 2009. So, where were we when we last spoke? The little nitpicky stuff took more time than expected, and work was finished on Monday afternoon instead of the originally estimated Friday. So that threw a bit of a monkey wrench in our plans. The floors were scheduled to start Monday morning, and Alex from the Floor Store (creative name, eh? Of the house to kitchen. There is ample counter sp...

The House Keys: Urban Renewal
http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2009/10/urban-renewal.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Sunday, October 18, 2009. You might remember that our front yard looked like this when we bought it:. Not really very pretty, eh? Instead of grass, someone had decided to fill the whole thing with cheap and unattractive mulch. Uncomfortable for our dog, and not really great for curb appeal either. Riley will hopefully enjoy it too. Although not until it gets a bit more established.

http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Kitchen Install: Day 1 Wrap-up. Starting off with a gratuitious Bettie shot). So that’s where it stood at the end of day one. I am writing this toward the end of day two, and that update will follow soon. It’s a bit exciting, frustrating, and definitely a bit interesting, especially for someone like me who is a bit of an engineer, and a bit of a handyman. . Sunday, April 26, 2009.

The History of Ream Construction
http://www.reamcon.com/aboutus.html
Ream Construction was started by Terry and Theresa Ream in 1981 out of their home in Seaside. Terry had been working with his father on construction projects on the Monterey Peninsula since 1973, when he decided to start his own company and pursue his own contractor’s license. The green movement has gained a lot of momentum in the construction industry, and Ream Construction has taken steps to stay current with this evolution. Just recently, Terry earned the Green Risk Professional. Certification from Va...

One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Sunday, May 16, 2010. No longer a cardboard box. The progress continues. . . After a bit of a respite, it seems we have gotten back into the groove of getting stuff accomplished on the house. The tan never really did it for us, and we also really wanted to get rid of the black trim (really who does that? Between a much needed pressure washing, the base coat and the trim, it took John DeFranco from A&S Painting.

The House Keys: November 2010
http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Sunday, November 14, 2010. Lovely, isn't it? Ok, so you're saying, "Two white doors. What's the big deal? This This is the big deal. After ignoring it for way too long, I finally got to work with the sander. A couple of hours and two very numb hands later, a blanket of dust covered me and everything in the room, and the full glory of the artistry was revealed. The shoddy job in covering it up - that.

The House Keys: Backsplash: One Year Later
http://thehousekeys.blogspot.com/2010/05/backsplash-one-year-later.html
One 60 year old house, two ambitious amateurs, a little creativity, and a whole lot of optimism. Monday, May 10, 2010. Backsplash: One Year Later. Readers may recall these photos of the kitchen after our big remodel project about a year ago. It has admittedly taken quite some time to get any of those loose ends wrapped up - but we finally have a backsplash. I had ordered 25 square feet of 12" x 12" sheets of 1" square mosaic glass tile from Anchor Bay Tile. And I had instructions from This Old House.
