About Us

Sonoma County, California
We are two teachers in love who took on an enormous renovation project over three years ago. In the words of the inspector, "This house has been abused." When we're not educating young minds or working on our place, we are busy with many other interests. Dominic could blog with authority on the following topics: zombie infestations, home-brewing, origami, medieval recreation, and surfing. As for me, my blogging repertoire could include these topics: breastfeeding, guitar for the musically disinclined, bellydancing, and the quest for the perfect matzah ball. This is our story.

Everything Must Go



At this early stage of the project, I was spending my days teaching summer school to middle-schoolers while Dominic demolished our new home. We would meet up at the house in the afternoons, identify any new vermin that had been discovered, have lunch and continue the work of the day. Using our bathroom was still possible at this point, though the utter lack of walls made some people shy. On many days, charitable friends and relatives would show up for a few hours to swing a sledgehammer or remove nails (Joel and Christy are two of our friends who deserve a big shout out, hella fat props, and whatever else the kids are saying these days).
