Basement Finishing

Scott — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:22:09 +0000

We’ve been talking about it since we bought our house last year, and it has finally begun. We’ve started the basement finishing project. Electrical and Plumbing has been run, and we spent several hours last Saturday afternoon hauling drywall down the stairs (with a little help from this tutorial from the late 90′s). The next step is getting the drywall hung, and then the finish work. Look for more updates as the project continues.

Downtown Iowa City Photos

We attended the Iowa City Chamber Singers Gala yesterday afternoon (Kieran is a member). It was held on the 11th floor of the Plaza Towers downtown… so we took a few photos of the view.

We’ve Got Pictures!

They might be older pictures, but something to look at none-the-less. New images from Christmas and New Year’s Eve have been added to the gallery. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

The Tree is Up

We put up the tree and decorations – the house is looking much more festive!

And the Beard is Gone!

I participated in No-shave November this year, and since yesterday was the last day of the month, the beard came off. It was definitely time! While the beard looked ok, it was itchy, and it’s removal was overdue. I put together a quick beard shaving video with some stills of the shaving highlights (a little lamb-chop action!). Enjoy!

Thanksgiving geocaching

Happy Thanksgiving! After gobbling up some turkey we went geocaching. Marj even found her first cache.

Just a few more…

A few more photos have been added to the gallery. These are from the last Hawkeye home game of the season vs. Michigan State. Unfortunately we did not win that game, but still had a good time at the final tailgate of the year (the theme was pizza grilling!). You’ll also notice a bit more facial hair. I’m participating in No-shave November for cancer awareness (it’s a very scratchy/itchy month).

Fall Photo Catch-up Post

We’re a bit behind on our photo updates, so here are a few albums that made it to the photo gallery that we forgot to tell you about. Though I bet all two of you who follow this site religiously already know about them. For the rest of you, here are the albums you missed.

Arizona Vacation
We took a trip back to Phoenix and Tucson at the end of September and beginning of October. It was good to see friends and family out in the desert again.

Kinnick Spirit Game
For the Iowa/Northwestern game a few weeks back, they did the striped black and gold sections again, as well as a cool card stunt before the game. We all held up cards to make a big red white and blue stars and stripes, as well as a black and gold ANF (America Needs Farmers) and Go Hawks design.

Homecoming 2011
Even though we got season tickets this year, we decided to participate in alumni band again. We marched the pre-game show, and gave our seats to my parents.

Minnesota Game
Jess and I traveled to Minneapolis last weekend to see an UGLY game between Iowa and Minnesota (we lost). But we did stay with some friends, and had a good time otherwise.
