Happy 2009!

It's a New Year and I decided to finish up one of the small projects that has been laying around now for six months. When the waste pipe in the kitchen ceiling busted and we had to replace the entire ceiling, I took off the trim at the top of the kitchen cabinets.

If you look closely at the cabinet picture above, you can see that at one time the kitchen was wallpapered with an...interesting blue wallpaper with flowers. Before they redid the ceiling, it was possible to see that the wallpaper had even been used on the ceiling. The trim has been laying in the basement, until today. I finally put it back up.

Now the kitchen project is officially closed.

It's snowing again. December was the snowiest month on record, with 44.7 inches of snow recorded for our town. That's a lot of snow. About half it has melted or sublimated, but there's still a five foot drift at the end of my driveway where the snow plow fills it in. And you can see that the house is coated in the white stuff.

Hope that everyone had a safe and happy New Year.
