We seem to always have a project going on at this small house! Just when you think you’re done, something else needs to be taken care of or we get a hair-brained scheme. We have done so much to this small house sometimes several times over. I have the handiest husband in the whole world and almost all of the work that has been done on this house has been done by him. Below is just some of his handiwork!
