The new rock stairway leading to the deck is almost finished: I know, I'm really not being very fast-flowing with photos of the house remodel. It's because I'm saving up to do some cool before and after shots (it'll be more dramatic that way, I promise.)

I have to say…I love the new backlit house numbers we got for our house more than I ever liked the big red WBCCI numbers (that we never put on the Airstream.) (Kevin plugged the wires into one of his hexacopter batteries so we could see how they are gonna…

Okay I know I said I'd post some photos of what we're doing around home these days, so here's a start. We're remodeling a bit (mostly on the outside) and taking care of some much needed upgrades to our house in Portland. In the category of "much needed upgrades": a…

Here's one of the reasons we love where we live in Portland: This is our daily morning hike. We occasionally mix it up a little (there are tons of trails all through this area) but this is the norm. It's nice and hilly, tons of trees, good trails, REDWOODS!, and…

We've been trying to make an effort when we're home to keep exploring the way we do when we're traveling around in the Airstream. There's so much to do near Portland and we seem to get home and just put our heads down, focusing on work and catching up on…

Okay so I mentioned before that we had chipmunks in our car. Turns out the car you leave at home when out gallavanting all over the place in the Airstream can turn into a cozy home for small woodland creatures. Anyway. Yesterday morning we decided to do a nice Portland hike…part…
