Beam Me Up

June 12, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Things are moving right along now! Wrapping up plumbing and electric and getting inspections done, nothing too exciting to report there. Except perhaps the dream I had, in which we were finally moving into the beautiful finished house and unpacking the boxes we’ve been living out of for 9 months…only to find that none of … [Read more…]

Super quick update

May 23, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Hey everybody! Just popping in to say hello and share some pictures.

CSI: Colonial New England

May 5, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Well, it was bound to happen. We finally found bones! Eek.

February 24, 2016 by porterbradstreet

*Edit/Addendum: I’ve realized that on the computer, images look fine. Sometimes, however, some images are upside-down when the post is viewed on a cell phone. On my end, there is no indication this is happening so I apologize! If anyone has any idea why it’s happening (or better yet, how to fix it), please shoot … [Read more…]

Still Pulling Back The Arrow…

January 21, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Sorry for the sparse posting! I think I actually started this post over the weekend. I can hardly get through typing a sentence before something pulls me elsewhere.  Although, to be honest, there’s not much to report over here this week.
