Forget the Ozone Layer, There is a Hole in My Ceiling

After we (FINALLY) finished the floors we went back and forth on what project to start next.  We most of what we need to do the hall bath, so that would make sense.  Tanner still doesn't have an official bedroom, so us working on the Master bedroom would make sense too.  It was between making the house pretty or making it...

Floors, Floors, Floors

I have had so many people ask me if I decided to just stop writing the blog. The answer is, No, I did not want to just stop.  I love documenting all of the work so that one day we can look back at what all we accomplished. But, as usual, life took over. My family seems to have this pattern, not intentional but uncontrollable pattern...

I never thought that we would have this problem. We knew that our neighbors had internet with AT&T and we have phone lines so...

New House for the Kughn's

For the last 6 years we have lived in a nice little house in a subdivision that is in a community called White Plains, that is part of Anniston, AL. This community is very rural, and by that I mean that we do not even have a red light. We have recently been upgraded to a blinking light and one intersection after several accidents. We are...
