Caulking Saves Lives

We've seen a lot of photos around here lately, but not much text.  This is probably because the important things weighing on my mind include mainly house maintenance and AMT tax, which are slightly hard to blog about.  But...that's never stopped me before, so here we are.

One of the greatest inexpensive improvements you can make to a house is adding freshly-dyed mulch to your yard.  The second greatest improvement is caulking things.  Clean caulk is what dreams are made of.  (Well, my dreams usually include unplanned pregnancies or getting eaten by crocodiles, but I'd really rather dream of caulk.)

We went to town with the caulk gun this weekend.  My favorite improvement is the re-caulking in the kitchen since we'd seen some cracks as the house warms and cools throughout the year.

Caulking saves lives, you guys.  Or something like that.

In other news, did you know Scott is brave enough to take apart the Saab's door?  I'm barely brave enough to pop my car's trunk and Scott just takes his apart, no big deal.  This is why we're married, obviously.  Anyway, Scott's back window has always been a tad loose and a few years ago we took it apart and wedged it shut with a small twig.  You may think I'm kidding, I am not.  We started to hear more wind recently so this time we opened her up and put a legit board in there.  It worked like a charm.

Well, this blog post is getting long, so I suppose we'll save the AMT tax for another day.  Sorry about the cliffhanger.

Spring Yard

Spring yards are the best.

The only thing better than a spring yard is new mulch in a spring yard.
