   Wooo, that is quite the list! But it's an ancient house that's in crappy condition held together by gum and duct tape basically. I'm only renting but I know that my landlord doesn't care what I do to it as long as it's in the best interest of the home. Also, I plan to be here for a while. Lots of pictures along the way!

    Ericka suggests that I use instagram for my photos on this blog. Any thoughts?
