time for an UPDATE!

Geesh I am a slacker!! Well... not really. Just been WAY too busy to even think of blogging. So here is the short and sweet of it:

1. We bought a HOUSE!! (YIPPY!)
2. We are pregnant again! Due July 25th.
3. Owen is growing up WAY too fast and may be the funniest kid around.
So instead of boring you with a ton of writing are some fun photos of what we have been up to! I plan on posting lots more about our many projects here at Strawn Farms 2.0 :) Also lots of "how to" posts about the things we have done for those of you who have been asking! (I didn't forget about all of you, I promise!)

the new house! :) BEFORE the new ceilings
there was ZERO insulation in the ceiling because they are vaulted, so we filled the existing beans with insulation and re Tough and Grooved (aka boards that lock together) over it! LOTS and LOTS of work, but SO worth it!

I wrote a little something on the back of the first board we put up. :) Staining all the boards SUCKED. I basically walked back and forth bent over with a little roller and a million buckets of stains and rolled each on with stain individually. They turned out BEAUTIFUL, but my back hated me for days!

AFTER the new ceilings were done! I LOVE them!
