I'd blog, but ...

I'm exhausted from tiling and grouting counter tops in our master bathroom -- and the job is only about half done. My wife and I bought this fixer-upper three years ago, only to discover that the addition of a kid and the parade of grandparents that ensued make the house just too small. Now I'm hustling to finish renovations not for us, but for the sake of resale.

I'm happy to say that I've never pulled a permit for any of my DIY projects.
