Woodboy DIY: Sprucing up an old record shelf
One of the main things I wanted when we purchased our own house was a space where I could do some light woodworking. I don’t have a ton of tools, though I am working on that little by little. Over the past few weeks I built a little workbench for myself (I guess not little – using…
Replicating my site with React and WP REST API
I’ve been wanting to improve my React knowledge for a while now, which included taking Wes Bos’ fantastic React For Beginners course thanks to WebDevStudios. Wes’ course is great and got me excited about learning this new technology in a way I haven’t felt in quite some time. I love what I build each day, of…
I Boosted the Crap Out of My Site Speed in a Weekend
Jon me as I set off on a journey through hooks, .htaccess files, and dumping the weight of unnecessary plugins to speed up my site!
The Neverending Story: Why I’ll Never Order Something from World Market Again
This is a dumb story. A dumb, annoying story. A dumb, annoying, longer-than-it-should-have-been story. A dumb, annoying, longer-than-it-should-have-been-story about a chair.

The Home Stretch
It’s been a while (it’s been a whiiiiiile) since I’ve posted something about the house and the move and the whole shebang. It turns out, moving cross-country to buy your first home really takes it out of you! The good news is… we’re in! And we’ve actually been in for a few weeks now, but we’ve…

Today, I’m going to step out of the arena of providing updates on our home in Austin, Texas and instead begin what I hope will be a continuing journey. What I would like to do here is to gradually review a book, chapter by chapter, via blog posts. For me, the reasons are two-fold –…
Appliances are in!
Another week and another update on our soon-to-be finished home in Easton Park. This week we received our regular update and photos with news that our carpet is in (though the photos were taken before carpet went down) and that our electric meter has been put into place. You can also see in the photos…
Floors, Cabinets, Countertops… and a Closing Date.
Boy, that escalated quickly. Last week’s update brought news that our masonry was being finished on the front of our home, as well as the electrical being nearly wrapped up. Today we received a quick update letting us know that our plumbing set-outs had gone in and that our irrigation would be going in next week. Not only that,…
Walls and More!
Things are certainly moving along at this point as the house begins to actually look like a house on the inside. In a previous update, we received details and photos of the progress in regards to sheetrock going up throughout the house. It’s amazing how much a place begins to look more like a house…
