hey there!
By Adam in Life, MeWell, what can I say? The past year had a few bumps in the road so I had to step back from the blog and take a fresh look at things. Sometimes it is just good to try to gain a new perspective on what is going on in life before you can move forward. […]

By Adam in Exterior, Front PorchMy front steps are done and I am thrilled with how they came out! I’m no longer embarrassed by how the front of my house looks and I’m no longer worried someone will hurt themselves. I hired a man named Donald Murray II who owns a business called Rockwalls & Creative Stonework in Hopkinton NY. […]
