Dedication

This blog is dedicated to Ashley (especially), Kenny, and their two girls. They have shown immense dedication to long standing friendship by visiting us on a whim whenever we are in the midst of a construction project. To be fair, the first time Ashley interpreted the terms "a little home renovation" and "not quite childproof" as "opening a paint can," due to her previous experiences. We were in fact gutting & renovating the only bathroom we owned in two weeks flat, over on Prescott St--a 3BR/1 BA house.  She brought on the toddlers (later visits they were taller), and everyone had a great time.  The next time it was the kitchen and laundry room, same house, floors missing.  Now it's a whole horse farm. They ate breakfast here when we supported the stove on matched speakers (because that's what we had with matching heights). They have caused construction to happen  merely by calling to let us know they were coming. I believe they truly like construction and visit us to immerse themselves in the full experience, sorta like camping.
