Thursday, April 30, 2015. Basement Update Video Part 2! Things have been really moving along here at the house, so it is time for some updating. First and foremost, the painting is done! After more sampling from the pink debacle. Peppercorn in the media room and exercise room, Black Fox in the wine cellar, Eider White in the bathroom and laundry room, and Quartz White in the bedrooms. We used their Red Mahogany stain on all of the windows and on the wine cellar door. Ready for some big changes? But I'm n...

Monday, June 8, 2015. As you know, the new novel is due in 22 days, so your Polymath is all about the typing right now. The good news is that I think you are all really going to like it.

By the same token, when you come out? That is EVERYTHING. We want to meet you and take pictures and hear that you gave the book to your sister or that ...

These guys are amazing, look at what they have to do everywhere a wall meets the stone! That is some seriously amazing hand-crafting right there! Your copy of RECIPE FOR DISASTER?

The Polymath Chronicles: Happy Houseiversary To Us!
http://blog.polymathchronicles.net/2014/03/happy-houseiversary-to-us.html
Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Happy Houseiversary To Us! In honor of our Houseiversary, we have a new bit of updating on the improvement projects, now that we are six months in. As we speak the drain tile and sump pump are being installed in the basement. Very boring, but the peace of mind that our currently historically dry basement will remain so, makes it a very happy thing indeed. In even better news, we found a sink for our basement vanity project! Remember our awesome Craigslist find? I don't know if ...

http://blog.polymathchronicles.net/2015/06/a-new-addition.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Today is a good day! Remember a gajillion years ago, when I told you that as part of our dream house project, Charming Suitor was finally getting his very own Wine Cellar. Well, the time is finally here. After months of prepping the space, and working closely with Vinotemp. On the complex design for the two-room space, with literally hours and hours of really tedious measuring and re-measuring to be sure that every single area was plotted out to the tiniest variation. And with all ...
