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.

The Thing About Bathtubs


Sometimes something small can make a huge difference. Dominic, highly enthusiastic but relatively inexperienced in the domain of bathroom framework, began to frame in the walls to match the exact width of our bathtub, which was five feet long. We are ever grateful to the remodeling gods that, partway through this process, he suddenly realized that we would be unable to move the bathtub into the bathroom (which would have made bathing pretty inconvenient) if he continued. After a bit of research, he corrected the framework and made it five feet, one-half inch wide. Who knew that a half of an inch could be so critical?
