We are doing some home renovations, which after many months of delay due to some financial planning and readjustments are finally getting underway today. They are ripping our deck off this morning. We’ll be getting a new 3-season screened-in porch, a facelift to our entry room (but not the full overhaul we originally wanted for it), and a complete overhaul of our master bath (which is and will remain the smallest bathroom in the house). The whole process should take about 3 months.

If you want to follow along with random commentary, to the extent I can remember to do it and can be any more active there than I am here, you can follow my tweets at @jruark. We’ll try to post pictures periodically as well.
