Wednesday, January 23, 2008. On the home improvement front - my mission to Jersey was successful! My super handy youngest son came back to Pittsburgh with me for a week and we made up a deck plan, a materials list, priced it all out and are ready to go as soon as weather permits. In the meantime he installed some much needed under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen and I hung the TV on the wall in the living room. What a good move that was! Friday, January 11, 2008.

American Foursquare: Dismantling a Sofa

http://americanfoursquare.blogspot.com/2008/09/dismantling-sofa.html

Monday, September 15, 2008. That's going to be the big challenge of the day. No, I've never tried it before and frankly the thought is making me feel a little queasy - but, I don't think we have a choice. My first reaction to the the "how are we gonna get anything up here? Question was to think "Fire Escape! Here's the plan: Carefully remove the fabric from the underside and the back of the sofa, look inside to see what we can cut and then re-attach to get the back away from the seat and "wing it". I...

American Foursquare: One More - About that Sofa

http://americanfoursquare.blogspot.com/2008/10/one-more-about-that-sofa.html

Wednesday, October 01, 2008. One More - About that Sofa. So, why did we go to this extreme? Here are a couple more pics of her place. Excuse the camera phone quality. I'm thrilled with how her kitchen turned out. When we first arrived every wall was stark white - the tiny countertop was stained and scored, the greasy wooden cabinets were hanging off the wall, and there was an eyesore of a hot water heater to the left of the stove. Wow, thank you for the pictures! The place turned out SO WONDERFUL!

Friday, August 29, 2008. Whoa That was close! Turns out that thirty six hours of indecision was long enough to take the decision out of our hands. Someone jumped ahead of us on the road to crazytown - the house down the street is already under contract. Someone is getting a terrific bargain. Or soul sappingly deep money pit. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. So what are we thinking of doing? Buying an even OLDER, even WORSE house than ours was when we got it! Okay - here are the details:. So what's the problem?

Tuesday, February 05, 2008. Waiting on my personal "Take Home Handy Man". I'm off from work today and had big plans - BIG I tell ya! But, I got sidetracked early on with a photo organizing project and now I don't feel like I have a big enough chunk of uninterrupted hours to get much accomplished. That, combined with today's cold damp weather is really draining any enthusiasm I had when I woke up. My "handyman" son is moving coming back from Jersey for an extended (hopefully permanent! The 1950's stone fa...

Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Two days ago I announced our intention of dismantling and reassembling a sofa. Wow. In case you've been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to find out how that went - I won't leave you hanging any longer. We carefully removed the fabric covering from the bottom of the sofa and then from the backside. I think we hoped that at this point the "secret" of deconstruction would simply reveal itself to us. Um. no. Then it got tricky! I took some photos - admittedly less than...
