The dogs grew weary of the constant barrage of rain that would pour down the coal chutes into their room in the cellar, so we've finally decided to do something about it (sorry front porch, masonry work, and servants' wash house/garage, you will all have to wait until next year). Dylan (otherwise known as the ''man with the handrail master ...

We've been home now for almost 2 months, and yet, we still aren't done replacing furniture and decor, but we are well on our way.  Right now, it's just a matter of playing the insurance game, buying what we can afford, turning in receipts, waiting for reimbursement, buying what we can afford, turning in receipts, waiting for reimbursements, ...

Reconstruction efforts on the house have officially begun.  The first step in the process is to remove all of the oak baseboards, trim, crown and shoe molding to prevent damage to them during the demolition of the rest of the plaster walls and ceilings.  Down the road, once the new walls and ceilings are back up, everything will be put ...

  Well, not rot, as much as termite induced damage.  During the original home inspection prior to the purchase of our home, termite mud tunnels were found in the cellar, leading to a corner of the house where the living room met a small bedroom on the other side.  The only visible damage was the edge of a sill plate, which we had ...

  Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to track down a place to purchase this wallpaper. Even though we've removed the wallpaper from every other room in the house, it has remained in tact in the foyer as we attempted to keep something original to the house prior to our arrival.  It was in pretty rough shape to begin with, as ...

My Aunt Priscilla came through with some really nice photos, so I added them all under the ''Sprigler History'' tag, so to jump to that gallery, just click the link below: Sprigler History Gallery Feel free to click on any photo in that gallery and add comments if you'd like (such as everyone's name in the photo, which definitely isn't my strong ...

While I was at my mom's house last night digging through more random boxes in search of unlabeled miniDV tapes (which I finally found in a box in our kitchen that never made it to the cellar, aptly labeled ''Junk Drawer'' and containing a bunch of Pez dispensers (some still with Pez) and my Dukes of Hazard cereal bowl when I was a kid), I took it ...

I was digging around in boxes upstairs and in the cellar looking for some random miniDV cassettes I never labeled nor ever put in a permanent location (I have that problem more often than not).  Haven't found them yet (probably at the storage facility I keep most of my overflow stuff, otherwise known as my mom's house, and there's no monthly ...
