Positively Preposterous Painting Put-Ons
When I took a job with the Appalachian Mountain Club a while back, the idea of living in the woods, taking fees from giddy, tired through-hikers and doing trail maintenance sounded like a dream come true. The reality of the day-to-day was a far cry from what I pictured in my head. That is a wildly random intro with the intent of getting us to talking about painting myths! What caught my (only slightly caffeinated) brain this morning was the concept of what we think versus reality. When it comes to painting, I always assume it will be quick and easy. The reality of it always tends to be a lot more work than I expected and it takes a lot more time to be completely done.
With painting, however, there are loads of benefits. This goes double for those of you thinking of listing your homes for sale thi...

Thankfully we avoided the green food coloring.
If you're itching to get cleaning and you are (beyond) ready for spring, this article should help nudge you in the right direction. I have memories of mom (and us kids) taking down all the curtains, washing all the windows, laundering all the blankets and moving all th...

Highlight the Home Office
One of my favorite things about snowy, icy, windy, cold days.... is not leaving the house (or my pajamas!). Working from home is one of the best things that has happened to my career since I quit my job and joined the ski patrol over at Loon Mountain! (Of course the ski patrol did nothing for my actual "career", but it was a blast while I was there!) I have heard a handful of people express that they would get nothing done if they worked from home. I think, when your livelihood (and capacity to pay the mortgage) depends on getting things done, the motivation shows itself. For me, I've never had trouble getting to work. Often it is the opposite!
It is not just the "pajama factor" that makes telecommuting so attractive either. Taking one more car off the road is always a plus...
