Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cup of Pike Place Roast in the morning, as much as the next gal. However, the economy is crappy, gas is pricey and stops for gourmet coffee are not an option. Does that mean that you cannot have your gourmet coffee, at all? Nope! You can have all of the gourmet, […]
I saw this photo while searching for something else, but it struck me so I saved it. I used to have these old thrift store bottles that I placed in windows with flowers and such, but I really like this idea above.
If you have the means, say, you can add some planks to your window, […]
This morning, I did a post over at Guerrilla Parenting about my disgust at the fly problem we’ve had around here, lately. I forgot to mention the annoyingly itchy mosquito bite I have on my cheek, or the ant invasion, in the post. I asked Marye, my very knowledgeable, fellow mother of a large brood, […]
So this fence project we started a couple of months back? So far we haven’t replaced the fence. This is due to several reasons, first and foremost there were so many trees growing against the fence we had to chop them down, which we’re not done with yet, and then grind the stumps. Since we’re […]

So I was going to have some more video but it’s pouring down rain here. Maybe I’ll take some for you tomorrow. When we last spoke about the fence project I told you how Mr. Ng and I were taking estimates from various handymen and landscape contractors. Just about all of us gave us […]

One of the hold ups involves a few trees growing around the fence we’re to replace. Before we install a new fence we have to remove the trees and […]
The other day I was thrilled when my husband agreed to hire someone to take care of the trees growing around our fence, specifically the trees growing against the fence. I called several. Some I left a message with and some offered to come by and give me a quote. Not one of them […]
Every time we try and get some work done on this fence project, something else pops up. Take the case of the trees. The trees growing around the fence were small when we moved here about six years ago. In our naivete, city folk that we were, we thought he trees would give us a […]
As you know, we’re taking on the monumental task of replacing our backyard fence. Rather than give you regular written updates, I felt you would get a better sense of what needs to be done with my first ever Simply Thrifty video blog post.
As you can see, the fence is in major disrepair. The […]
