		<title>Talking on Twitter&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Things have been very quiet here for the last few months.
All is well &#8211; the summer was a whirlwind of activity and holiday and it feels like we spent more away then home.  We sacrificed a lot last summer when we entertained moving and vowed that this summer we would do a better job [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Old Lights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago we happened upon a pair of old lights at one of our regular antique haunts. They&#8217;re in fairly good condition, needing only a good scrubbing and a wiring upgrade. We always are on the lookout for old lights such as these, but we rarely find any for a decent price &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Water Heater Woes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend our water heater sprang a leak. Not a big leak, but a leak none the less. The water heater was a rental so we phoned the utility company. They dispatched a local representative who came out to the house in a matter of hours, assessed the problem, and informed us that they would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our New Pantry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Anyone with an old house knows that storage space is always at a premium, thus it&#8217;s advantageous to maximize  storage capacity whenever you can.  Such is the case with our pantry&#8230;
When we first moved in to this house we remodeled the kitchen, but we didn&#8217;t bother to change the pantry &#8211; we were overjoyed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plans for the new year.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inspiration can sometimes come from the most unlikely sources. We decided to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon cleaning up our Christmas ephemera, and as per usual, we took it as an opportunity to do some puttering. Nothing major, a little bit of putty here, a touch of paint there &#8211; those &#8216;touch-ups&#8217; that help keep [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lamenting the Lost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided it is time to clean up this website &#8211; no, I&#8217;m not drastically changing the design.  I&#8217;m happy enough with the way things look and I&#8217;m not going to spend the effort making huge changes when they&#8217;re not necessary. Will I update the site? You betcha &#8211; This design is going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are a regular follower of this blog, you&#8217;ll know that we have had a number of issues with ice dams over the last few winters. Our first year in the house we didn&#8217;t have and problems, but since then we have had &#8216;water in the kitchen&#8217; event every winter.
At first we thought the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog Action Day 2008 &#8211; Poverty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2008 has been the bastion for economic uncertainty. One year ago people were recording record house sale profits and the economy &#8216;appeared&#8217; to be steaming along without issue.  However as well all know, economic times were not a good as once thought and now North America is gripped by financial instability.
People are losing their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buckets and Gutters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago my father taught me that one of the best &#8216;toolboxes&#8217; is an old drywall compound bucket. My father had a bucket for plumbing, an electrical bucket, a drywalling bucket, and the general use bucket.  Simple, sturdy, and free.
I have my own bucket arranged in the all important &#8216;rescue/repair&#8217; configuration &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s been two months since my last post! Where has the time gone?
I&#8217;m happy to report that nothing extraordinary has happened since my last writing &#8211; and I&#8217;m grateful for that! It would seem that our little experiment with the housing market did us a world of good &#8211; allowing us to [...]]]></description>
