Fixing a wall… with cooled LAVA!
Well I finally did it… I went to work on repairing the lava rock wall that’s been crumbling since we bought this place.In looking at the wall, it appears that many people have tried their hand at repairs. It’s not a task for the timid. Not only do...I Hate It When this Happens!

Haley – Is an amazing graphic designer and lady-boss, is developing an obsession with travel, puts up with noisy band practices, and also digs MCM style.
Steve was born in SoCal, raised in NorCal and has lived in the Great Pacific Northwest for many many years. Haley was born and raised nearby in NE Portland.

Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
PLAN B… THE TRAILER
Just in case the whole home restoration thing doesn’t work out! We have a ’56 Airstream Safari that we’re restoring in our spare time. 🙂
